Severe weather possible in Arkansas, Missouri, other states
The Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Oklahoma, says severe weather – including tornadoes – is possible later this week in large parts of Arkansas and Missouri and in portions of several other states.
The SPC says a strong and fast moving storm system and a powerful cold front is expected to produce moisture, heat and instability on Wednesday in both states and in southern Illinois, western Kentucky, western Tennessee and northwestern Mississippi, possibly creating super cells and some tornadoes in the region.
Cities in the most-threatened area include Little Rock, Arkansas; St. Louis; Memphis, Tennessee; Jackson, Tennessee; and St. Charles, Missouri, but meteorologist John Hart with the SPC said that if the storm slows down, it could instead strike in the Oklahoma, Kansas and Texas area.
