THE SOUTHERN PLAINS — A SLIGHT RISK OF DAMAGING STORM GUSTS

Severe gusts and a brief tornado are possible from south-western Oklahoma and north-western Texas into the Edwards Plateau today, a slight risk. It eases to marginal on Thursday.

63 turning points on record since Jun 9 — the 8 most recent shown.

Forecasters had outlined a slight risk of damaging storm gusts across the Southern Plains, and several communicators confirmed that severe thunderstorms indeed brought strong winds along with hail and a chance of tornadoes. One storm chaser described a supercell east of Amarillo that nearly spawned a tornado near Groom, where warnings extended north of the main highway. Another noted multiple funnels visible from a warned storm along the same route, showing that the threat materialized more intensely in spots than the broader gust outlook alone suggested.
