Mother’s Day Weekend Faces Tornado Threat Across Plains
Severe storms are forecast to impact the Southern Plains through Mother’s Day weekend, placing nearly 40 million individuals at risk from damaging winds, large hail, and potential tornadoes. The affected areas include parts of Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, and Arkansas. Forecasters indicate that this could signal the start of a significant shift in weather patterns, with Tornado Alley expected to become more active in May due to warm Gulf air fueling storm development. Residents are urged to stay informed and take necessary precautions to ensure safety during this period of heightened weather risk.
