Tornado & Hail Outbreak Tonight.
Moderate Risk across the Ark-La-Tex.
NOAA's Storm Prediction Center has issued a Moderate Risk (Level 4 of 5) for southeast Oklahoma, northeast Texas, and the Ark-La-Tex through tonight. Tornado warnings are already active across Arkansas with tornado watches in effect for north Texas. MLCAPE values of 3,000–4,000 J/kg paired with steep mid-level lapse rates support hailstones 2 to 3 inches in diameter and damaging wind gusts over 75 mph. The low-level jet is strengthening overnight, raising tornado potential through sunrise. Major river flooding continues across Illinois, Wisconsin, and Michigan from snowmelt and slow-moving storms, and critical fire weather is impacting New Mexico. If you're in the threat zone, shelter on the lowest floor of an interior room — now.
