Even though the overall intensity of severe weather will throttle back for a few days, AccuWeather meteorologists urge people in the central United States not to let down their guard into the weekend as more thunderstorms will be on the prowl, and some can pack a punch in terms of high winds, hail and heavy...
While powerhouse thunderstorms will take a bit of a break, the risk of severe weather and flash flooding will continue over parts of the central United States into this weekend.
The southern U.S. storms have access to plenty of Gulf of Mexico moisture and will squeeze that out through torrential downpours that can trigger flash flooding. Huntsville, Texas, received 8.54 inches of rain in less than 12 hours from Wednesday evening to Thursday morning. That protection will not cover all of the Central states, however. Two localized severe thunderstorms with some risk to lives and property will move through on Friday afternoon and night.The Texas storms will fire up on the boundary between cool, moist air to the east and dry air to the west," Douty explained."These slow-moving,"dry line" storms tend to produce incidents of very large hail and powerful wind gusts.
"This disturbance will set off forward-moving severe weather from parts of western and northern Oklahoma to western and central Kansas, eastern Colorado and southwestern Nebraska during Friday afternoon and night," Douty said,"The central Plains will also bring the risk of hail and strong wind gusts."As the activity erupts over the High Plains, the zone farther to the east from I-10 to I-40 will remain active with a mosaic of showers and thunderstorms.
