Cities that could be affected by violent storms Friday and/or Saturday include Dallas, Oklahoma City, Tulsa, Wichita, Kansas City, Mo., Omaha, Des Moines and Milwaukee.
Friday marks day two of a four-day-long barrage of severe storms set to threaten the central states, with the potential for strong tornadoes across portions of the Plains and Corn Belt.
On Saturday, storms will be more widespread, with at least some risk of severe weather from northern Michigan to the Texas-Mexico border. A tornado is possible anywhere within that zone, but the risk is highest between roughly Kansas and Dallas, including Oklahoma City and Wichita, where a few intense tornadoes could form.
Storms will weaken by about 10 p.m. in eastern areas as they outrun the instability, or storm fuel, that gave rise to them.In this zone, storms probably won’t be as widespread because the rising air required to incite storms will be more concentrated to the north. However, a cold front trailing through the area could touch off scattered storms, which could be severe.There are some signs that storms could be more numerous in Texas, including around Dallas, than originally anticipated.
