Severe Weather Threatens Central and Southern United States with Floods and Tornadoes

Severe Weather Threatens Central and Southern United States with Floods and Tornadoes

Meteorologists warn of dangerous storms, including potential deadly flooding and tornadoes, across several states.
Meteorologists have issued warnings for parts of the Midwest and Southern United States, forecasting heavy rainfall that poses a risk of potentially deadly floods and strong tornadoes.

The National Weather Service reported a tornado sighting last night in Kansas, approximately 145 kilometers north of Wichita.

Severe storms accompanied by heavy rain are expected to affect regions in Texas, Mississippi, and Ohio, with conditions persisting until Saturday.

The storms may traverse the same areas multiple times, creating hazardous flooding situations.

Particularly vulnerable regions include parts of Arkansas, western Tennessee, western Kentucky, and southern Indiana.

The expected rainfall could reach 38 centimeters in northeastern Arkansas, southeastern Missouri, western Kentucky, and southern Illinois and Indiana over the next week.

Additionally, meteorologists have indicated that tornadoes could form in Oklahoma and Kansas overnight.

The highest risk areas for intense tornado activity include Oklahoma City, as well as the cities of Wichita and Tulsa in Kansas.

A significant portion of the country, stretching from northeast Texas to Michigan, is anticipated to experience severe weather today.

Major urban centers such as Chicago, Indianapolis, St. Louis, and Memphis are situated in the highest risk zones, with a combined population of approximately 43 million people.

Dallas, Detroit, Milwaukee, and Nashville are also under threat from the impending storms.

Meteorologist Tom Jones from the National Weather Service noted that the rainfall expected over the next few days could exceed what typically falls in two months.
