A severe thunderstorm outbreak is forecasted to begin next week, starting in the Plains-Midwest and moving into the East as the week progresses. Meteorologists are closely monitoring the situation, noting the presence of upper troughs and 60+ dew points in the Plains that could lead to more rounds of severe weather through at least mid-next week. A significant tornado threat is also highlighted, with Oklahoma identified as having the greatest confidence for severe weather, but potential spread to other areas. Additionally, fire weather danger is a concern in northwestern Oklahoma. The storm system could trigger tornadoes, very large hail, and damaging winds. The severe weather is likely on Monday in the central/southern Plains and Tuesday from NE Texas to the Midwest, with all severe weather hazards possible. FOX Weather meteorologists, Dr. @GregPostel, and MyRadar meteorologist @MatthewCappucci are among those providing updates.
