The National Weather Service has issued warnings for severe weather conditions across the central and southern Great Plains, including Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas, and Nebraska (NE, KS, OK and TX), for Sunday.

Critical fire weather conditions are also expected in the southeastern plains, with advisories to avoid outdoor burning due to the risk of wildfires. Strong winds, gusting up to 50-60 mph, are anticipated, leading to elevated to extreme fire weather conditions. The severe storms, expected to develop in the late afternoon to evening hours after 4pm, moving across regions and posing risks of large hail and a few tornadoes. Isolated to scattered severe thunderstorms are expected.
