The Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Okla., says golf ball-sized hail, powerful winds and isolated, strong tornadoes could strike areas of Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana and Oklahoma on Tuesday. The area at risk does not include Moore, Okla., where dozens of people were killed in a monstrous tornado Monday.
Severe weather warnings extend through most of the central United States, with conditions ripe for large storms from Michigan to Texas, reports meteorologist Larry Mowry with CBS affiliate KTVT in Dallas.
Forecasters say the greatest risk for severe weather Tuesday includes the Dallas-Fort Worth area. The National Weather Service is predicting flash flooding in parts of Arkansas and Louisiana as the storm system dumps several inches of rain in a short time frame Tuesday afternoon.
In Moore, where search and rescue operations continue, showers, lightning and thunderstorms continued into early Tuesday morning, reports CBS This Morning anchor Norah O'Donnell. By late morning, the rain had died down, but wind damage was reported south and east of Oklahoma City, reports meteorologist David Payne with CBS affiliate KWTV in Oklahoma City. A line of severe thunderstorms stretching across most of southern Oklahoma are expected to drift slowly into northern Texas.
