Severe T-Storm Warning Central NE; Enhanced Risk — June 13, 2026 — SevereWX
The Storm Prediction Center maintains an ENHANCED risk for severe thunderstorms today across areas including Wichita, KS; Joplin, MO; Kansas City, MO; and Springfield, MO, where damaging winds, very large hail, and isolated tornadoes remain possible. A SLIGHT risk extends into parts of Oklahoma and Texas Panhandle, including Amarillo, TX; Oklahoma City, OK; Tulsa, OK; and St. Louis, MO. Right now, discrete storms are ongoing in the Texas and Oklahoma Panhandles, far western Kansas, and east into southeast Kansas and southwest Missouri, prompting multiple mesoscale discussions and severe thunderstorm watches now active through early morning.
Storms in these areas are producing gusty winds and hail, with activity expected to shift eastward in the next few hours toward the higher risk zones. Conditions are favorable for intensification as we head into morning, so parts of Kansas and Missouri could see the strongest storms develop soon.
