The most significant severe thunderstorms are likely Wednesday over the Deep South.
Storms will form along a dryline Tuesday afternoon, a nose of arid air ahead of the storm system ejecting from the Southwest into the western Plains. The dryline will serve as a triggering mechanism, the impetus for surface air to rise. It will be integral in popping storms Tuesday.At the same time, the bone-dry air mass in advance of the storm is responsible for bringing “critical” fire weather to the Plains, particularly on Tuesday.
A broad level 2 out of 5 “slight risk” for severe weather has been drawn from near Austin to northeast Kansas, and includes cities like Dallas, Fort Worth, Waco, Oklahoma City, Tulsa, Wichita Falls and Kansas City.In northern parts of the risk area, dry air aloft might limit storm longevity, meaning shorter-lived “pulse” thunderstorms would be probable with gusty to damaging straight-line winds.
It’s not yet clear how much cloud cover from Tuesday’s storms will be draped across the Deep South on Wednesday, and how much sunlight will be available to fuel storms.
