OK, straight into the post. There is a Slight Risk of severe weather for parts of TX, OK, KS and MO. Large hail,and a few instances of strong to damaging winds are expected, and the possibility of tornadoes, though only marginal (2%), cant be ruled out. The line of severe weather, if it occurs, will stretch from the Southern Plains up into the Ozarks.

The Marginal Risk area covers around the Slight Risk, as usual, and then up to the Canadian border along the eastern coast.

Whilst there were 6 reports of tornadoes yesterday, they were all short lived, and none did any significant damage. The tornado that happened outside Dimmitt, TX on April 14 was revealed to have remained stationary for over an hour, and was over a mile wide. Luckily though, this happened over an open field, so there was limited, if any, damages associated with it.

As always, I will update this if needed.
