Update: Texas Panhandle Enters Slight Risk Fray Today as Plains Pattern Evolves — SevereWX

We've been tracking the active severe weather pattern across the Plains, including this morning's Severe Thunderstorm Warning in southern Minnesota. Now, the Storm Prediction Center (SPC) has shifted focus south for Tuesday, June 30, issuing a Slight Risk of severe thunderstorms over the Amarillo, TX area.

A Slight Risk means isolated severe storms are possible in the highlighted region—not a widespread outbreak, but enough potential to warrant caution. These storms could produce large hail (1 inch or bigger), damaging wind gusts exceeding 58 mph, and perhaps an isolated tornado.

Looking ahead, the risk rebounds north: Slight Risk for Minnesota on Wednesday, July 1, then Iowa and South Dakota on Thursday, July 2. This reflects an evolving upper-air pattern keeping discrete storms fired up across the central U.S.

Stay vigilant—check your local National Weather Service office for the latest warnings, watches, or advisories. Have a severe weather plan ready: know where to shelter, charge devices, and keep an eye on the sky.
