Severe storms are targeting the middle of the country day after day from April 9-14.

00:00Well, as we look to the South Central, certainly days of severe weather is ahead, but not each day is
00:06going to be the same. So let's break it down piece by piece. Friday, certainly widespread rainfall. Not everyone here
00:13included in the severe weather risk. I've been showing you that map in some of our other segments of the
00:19show, but taking a look at our temperatures. We're in the 70s. We have the thunderstorms across much of Texas
00:24up into Oklahoma 80s for Shreveport. Let's take a look at how everything plays out on
00:29future radar. Talk about kind of the days ahead, and then we'll get into more of the details. All right,
00:35so the rest of today, we do have that severe threat from the Texas Panhandle up through Oklahoma and into
00:40other portions of the Southern Plains. We do it all again tomorrow in much the same area, but keep in
00:45mind, we have thunderstorms elsewhere too, just not the widespread severe weather threat. Heavy downpours in the same areas are
00:52going to get hit day after day after day with the heavy rainfall. So as the days go on, flash
00:58flooding is going to become more
00:59more and more of a concern. So we're at the overnight hour Saturday into Sunday. You can see things certainly
01:05continuing through the overnight and into the next day, Sunday 4 p.m. Much more scattered. Now here's the entire
01:13footprint that we're talking about for round after round of that repeated heavy rainfall, and many of you in this
01:18green shaded area are going to see strong to severe storms too. So kind of giving you the overall footprint
01:24as we've been breaking it down day by day with our severe risk maps. Again, the flash
01:29flooding risk, it's going to go up as we go through the next couple of days here. Just been showing
01:34this and I just want to highlight this into the Southern Plains as well. We have the pieces of energy
01:38that allow for days after days of severe weather, but I mentioned not every day is the same. Things ramp
01:43up as we head into next week. For example, the next couple days, not much of a tornado threat can't
01:48rule out an isolated tornado or two, but it's not something we're highlighting as what you're most likely to see.
01:52But as the system comes from the West that you're seeing here, this big dip, we have much more of
01:58the atmospheric
01:59setup for more intense and more widespread severe weather. So that's why as we head into next week, Monday, Tuesday,
02:06and especially Tuesday and into Wednesday, things are really going to start to ramp up. So stay weather aware. It's
02:13going to be the pattern really for the foreseeable future here.
