Severe Weather Summary
More Severe Weather in the Nation's Midsection
Surface low pressure is over the Texas Panhandle this morning; a strong upper-level low is diving toward the Four Corners region. A well-defined surface front is in place from the Texas Panhandle low to the Northeast; dew points in the 50s and 60s have surged up to this boundary. The large thunderstorm complex over eastern Oklahoma, across Arkansas and southern Missouri has weakened some, but once again today and tonight, that area of eastern Oklahoma and northern and central Arkansas will be the most likely area for severe storms, including isolated tornadoes. CAPE values will be in the neighborhood of 2,000 j/kg, and lifted indices are expected to bottom out at -5 to -8.
All along and south of the frontal boundary as far northeast as Pennsylvania by late today, will be fair game for showers and thunderstorms, some of them very heavy.
