Thunderstorms are possible today across portions of the South Central Plains and Lower Mississippi River Valley region. Below is a look at the latest radar.

Thunderstorms will continue and increase in coverage through the day as instability increases due to warm air and moisture advection. The main focal point for thunderstorms will be across portions of Southeast Texas and Southwestern Louisiana. Small hail and damaging winds will be the primary threats with these storms, but an isolated tornado cannot be ruled out.

Further north, thunderstorms will be possible across portions of Northeast Oklahoma and Southwest Missouri. Midlevel temperatures will be cold enough to support the development for small hail, but no severe weather is expected.

Thunderstorms will be possible tonight across the Central Plains. Below is a look at the SPC day 1 outlook.

The thunderstorm potential will begin to increase tonight as a shortwave over the Southern Rockies begins to move eastward. This will increase moisture advection into the Central Plains and allow the potential for thunderstorms tonight across portions of Southeast Kansas, Northeast Oklahoma, Northwest Arkansas, and Southwest Missouri. The development of a low level jet tonight will aid in the development and maintenance of thunderstorms. Small hail will be the main threat with these storms.

Wintry precipitation is continuing for portions of the Central Plains. Below is a look at the advisories currently in effect and the latest radar.

Strong warm air advection is occurring over the Central Plains. This will allow the snow currently falling to transition into sleet and/or freezing rain later today. Up to four inches of snow will be possible in some areas, especially Northern and Central Arkansas,  where CSI may be present. Roads may be slick, especially in areas where precipitation fell last night and this morning, but many areas should warm above freezing today, melting much of the ice.

Winter Weather Advisories are in effect for a large part of the Central Plains through tomorrow afternoon. Below is a look at the latest advisories.

Snow and freezing rain has been reported across western portions of Texas. This activity will gradually work its way eastward through the evening and the day tomorrow. The computer models seem to have backed off somewhat on the freezing rain potential, but it is still there so be advised of this tonight and especially tomorrow morning.

Snow amounts will range from 1-3 inches in most areas across the Central and Southern Plains. In addition to the snow, winds to 20 miles per hour will create blowing and drifting snow.
