The tornado watch is in effect until Tuesday evening.
National Weather Service meteorologists issued a tornado watch for six states on Tuesday afternoon as a storm system traveled across the Great Plains.The strong low-pressure system began affecting the Central U.S. on Tuesday morning, and the NWS Weather Prediction Center said the storm would move through the Plains and Mississippi Valley throughout the day. The storm is bringing a 'sustained arc of showers and thunderstorms' over the Northern Plains and into the Upper Midwest.
A 'Slight Risk,' or Level 2/5, extends more broadly, southward through Missouri and into northern Arkansas. An isolated threat of storms exists in that area.'In addition to severe weather, rounds of heavy rainfall from the more widespread storms over the Upper Midwest along with potentially more scattered but heavier downpours with storms to the south through the Middle Mississippi Valley will pose a threat for some isolated flash flooding,' the Weather Prediction Center said.
