“Significant severe weather is likely from the central/southern Plains into the the Ozarks today into tonight. All severe weather hazards are expected, to include tornadoes (some potentially strong to intense), very large hail, and severe winds. A highly amplified large-scale trough will move gradually eastward from the Rockies across the Plains through the period. Within the base of the trough, an embedded shortwave trough and accompanying 70-kt midlevel speed maximum will overspread the southern and central Plains. In response, a surface cyclone will deepen over north-central Oklahoma, while a focused low-level jet gradually strengthens along/east of a dryline extending southward from the surface cyclone (west of the I-35 corridor),” says a Monday National Weather Service bulletin about a new round of shitty and deadly weather coming for the nation’s interior.
At least 19 people were killed in Kentucky alone on Friday and nine more perished in other states as tornadoes ripped through the region over the first half of the weekend.
