Update: NE/IA Storm Remnants Spark Thursday Slight Risks Across OK-MO Heartland — SevereWX

Following our morning update on tornado warnings across eastern Nebraska and Iowa, those storms have evolved, fueling a new Slight Risk outlook from the Storm Prediction Center (SPC) for Thursday, June 11.

A Slight Risk means isolated severe thunderstorms are possible in the highlighted areas. These storms could bring isolated damaging wind gusts over 58 mph, hail larger than 1 inch, and perhaps an isolated tornado. The primary corridor stretches from Oklahoma City, Moore, and Tulsa in Oklahoma northward through Joplin, Springfield, Kansas City, and St. Louis in Missouri.

This setup stems from lingering instability and a subtle shortwave disturbance riding the tail end of yesterday's Plains activity, priming discrete storms amid a humid boundary layer.

Looking ahead:

• Friday, June 12: Slight Risk expands to the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic, including Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Vermont, Virginia, and West Virginia.
• Saturday, June 13: Slight Risk returns to the Kansas City area.

Stay vigilant—review the latest from your local National Weather Service office and have a severe weather plan ready, knowing where to shelter.
