The National Weather Service has issued warnings for much of the Great Plains, indicating a high risk of severe thunderstorms. These storms are expected to develop rapidly, bringing with them the potential for hail larger than golf balls, wind gusts exceeding 70 mph, and isolated tornadoes. The areas most at risk include parts of Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Texas.
Meteorologists advise residents to monitor local weather forecasts closely and have a plan in place in case a tornado warning is issued. This includes identifying a safe room or shelter, having a supply kit with essential items, and knowing the safest evacuation routes. The severe weather threat is expected to diminish by late Monday, but the aftermath could include flooding and power outages.
