Update: AL/AR Slight Risks Formalized After Early Warnings; Plains Next — SevereWX

Following our earlier coverage of severe thunderstorm warnings in southeast Oklahoma and watches across Arkansas and Oklahoma this morning, the situation continues to evolve.

The Storm Prediction Center (SPC) has now issued Slight Risk outlooks for Monday, June 22. This covers Huntsville and Birmingham in Alabama, plus Little Rock in Arkansas. A Slight Risk means isolated severe thunderstorms are possible in these areas—storms that could pack damaging wind gusts near 60 mph, quarter-sized hail, and perhaps an isolated tornado, though widespread severe weather isn't expected.

Looking ahead, the SPC's outlook shows another Slight Risk for Wichita, Kansas, on Tuesday, June 23. By Wednesday, June 24, isolated severe potential spreads into Colorado and Wyoming.

These risks highlight a persistent pattern of unstable air and storm potential across the South and into the Plains and Rockies this week. If you're in or near these zones, keep an eye on updates from your local National Weather Service office and ensure you have a severe weather safety plan ready—know where to shelter and stay informed via radar and alerts.
