Severe thunderstorms have developed over the central United States and will threaten parts of the Plains and Mississippi Valley into Wednesday night.
People across the region should prepare for the possibility of travel delays, especially during the rush hour commute, as severe storms spawn damaging winds, large hail and potentially a few tornadoes.
"Cities at risk for severe thunderstorms include Tulsa and Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; Fayetteville and Little Rock, Arkansas; Memphis, Tennessee; Joplin and Springfield, Missouri, Tyler, Texas; and Shreveport, Louisiana," AccuWeather Meteorologist Brett Rathbun said.
Thunderstorms are forecast to last into Wednesday night with the worst weather shifting from Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas into Missouri, Arkansas and Louisiana.
