Another significant risk of severe storms today

The National Weather Service issued a tornado watch into Tuesday night for large parts of Kansas as well as parts of Nebraska and Iowa.

A Tornado Watch means conditions are ripe for severe weather that could produce a tornado.

A surface area of low pressure is located across part of eastern Kansas and will move northeast later this evening with a dry line positioned across far western OK and western Kansas.

A staggering number of tornadoes will not be the only problems for the USA in the upcoming areas, as severe weather could also create flash flooding, strong winds and hail. It was three degrees shy of tying the record high of 90 set back in 2001, but 20 degrees above normal value for early May.

Seattle startup Pulse Labs is one of four companies to participate in Google's new Google Assistant investment program. More than 30,000 developers worldwide have designed their voice assistant applications using " Botsociety ".

Once this round exits there will likely be a lull in the storms in the afternoon. Saturday's high temperatures should be in the low to mid 70s, lowering to about 70 degrees on Sunday with the threat of showers. But the National Weather Service said not everybody will see thunderstorms, not everybody will see showers, and not everybody will have to face strong, gusting winds. Here is the orientation of the winds at 10 a.m.at the surface, and here is the wind orientation at about 18,000 feet up on this morning. Basically, we think our next better chance for showers and storms may approach our area by the middle to end of next week.

Thursday night: 30 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms, mainly before 2 a.m. Cloudy, with a high near 81. The low will be around 56 with a south southwest wind of 9 to 15 miles per hour becoming west northwest after midnight. There's nearly no chance that will continue throughout May, one of the deadliest months for severe weather in Oklahoma.

We could see around an inch of rain close to area-wide through Friday. Saturday looks like the wettest day this time with as many as 6 to 8 hours of light to moderate rainfall.

Friday, it will be mostly sunny with a high near 77, the weather service said.
