| Storms Target Southern Plains, Southeast
Another round of severe thunderstorms is on tap this afternoon and evening. Large hail and gusty winds will pelt the southern Plains and Southeast, as well as isolated tornadoes and heavy downpours.
The cause for all this severe weather is a cold front slowly creeping southward from eastern Colorado to the Mid-Atlantic. Plenty of warm and humid air, energized by the strong mid-June sun, is giving a nice energy boost to the atmosphere south of the front where all the strongest storms are firing.
Storms will line up along the eastern front of the Rockies from Wyoming to the west Texas Plains as well as in the Deep South. These storms will once again have large hail to the size of baseballs and strong, gusty winds. A few twisters are also possible across the eastern Texas Panhandle into southwestern Oklahoma.
The increased risk of severe weather across the Texas Panhandle and western Oklahoma has prompted the Storm Prediction Center to place the region under a Moderate Risk.
Cities that might see a thunderstorm today include Midland and Abilene, Texas, Oklahoma City, Dodge City, Kan., Denver, Cheyenne, Wyo., Scottsbluff, Neb., Jackson, Miss., Huntsville and Montgomery, Ala., and Tallahassee, Fla.
Widespread storms raged from the southern Plains to the Carolinas on Friday. A possible tornado overturned a semi truck and tore a roof off a church in Olive Branch, Miss., injuring one person, while another possible tornado brought down trees and in carports near Weatherford, Texas. Grapefruit sized hail gutted Hackett, Ark., and baseball sized hail pelted Stillwater, Tahlequah and Spiro, Okla. Tennis ball sized hail was reported near Mason, Texas.
Thunderstorm winds have gusted up to 85 mph near Inola, Okla., while a tree blown down by thunderstorm wind gusts hurt a woman when in Pryor, Okla. Another storm in Lincoln, Ala., injured a person when glass blew out of their mobile home. A storm in Rogers, Ark., had winds measured at 85 mph, and winds gusted in Fayetteville, Fort Smith, Mulberry and Ozark, and Russellville, Ark. Oil Trough, Ark., and Ackerman, Miss., to 75 mph. Tree damage has been reported from Texas to South Carolina.

Why is it that people who never pay attention to the weather are always the first to complain.
