Following a hazardous two-day period filled with tornadoes and intense storms across the Plains, AccuWeather meteorologists warn that the pattern on Sunday can pose similar threats.
Following a volatile eruption of severe weather across the Plains on Friday and Saturday, resulting in nearly 125 combined preliminary tornado reports, the pattern unfolding across the nation’s midsection on Sunday may continue to bring hazards such as damaging wind gusts, hail, flash flooding and tornadoes.
To put into perspective how numerous the storm reports were on Friday, when over 80 preliminary tornadoes occurred, AccuWeather Meteorologist Alex Duffus noted that the last day when there were more than 75 filtered tornado reports was March 31st, 2023. On that date, there were 163 filtered tornado reports. Filtered storm reports remove the duplicate reports that would otherwise lead to an inaccurately high total for an event.
Similar to Friday, AccuWeather meteorologists marked another rare ‘high’ risk for severe weather from south-central Oklahoma to east-central Kansas and the western border of Missouri for Saturday outlining the area with the best prospects for destructive, widespread and dangerous storms.
