After strong thunderstorms on Sunday for Oklahoma and northern Texas, severe weather returns Tuesday to the Southern Plains.
Severe storm cells have been producing dangerously large hail today. A report of baseball-size hail came in from near the Tennessee-Mississippi border within the past hour! Large hail will continue to be most common threat, but damaging winds and even isolated tornadoes could occur as well.
A compact but powerful system will emerge over the Plains Sunday, sparking severe storm development from Texas to Kansas. Central Oklahoma will be ground zero starting mid-afternoon.
