Dozens of tornadoes have struck the Plains since Friday. A serious outbreak is feared Monday.
A tornado strikes near east of Moorefield, Neb., on Friday. By Matthew Cappucci May 18 at 5:20 PM Severe storms have plagued parts of the Plains since Friday, including about 50 reported tornadoes, and more severe weather is on the way. A dangerous severe weather outbreak is possible Monday, which would target parts of Oklahoma, Kansas and Texas. Massive hail, destructive winds, and potentially strong tornadoes could be in the offing.
In events with as much storm “fuel” as this, so many storms can develop that they merge and compete, limiting the tornado risk. That doesn’t look to be the case Monday. The National Weather Service is forecasting wind profiles “very favorable for discrete supercells capable of all severe hazards, including significant tornadoes.”
Oklahoma City is in the bull’s eye, as is Moore — the southern suburb that saw neighborhoods razed by EF5 tornadoes in both 1999 and 2013. Monday marks exactly six years since the infamous May 20, 2013, tornado in which 24 people died, an eerie coincidence as the same location could be affected by dangerous weather again.
