A​ line of storms is continuing to move through the central U.S. overnight with possible severe storms, tornadoes, hail and flash flooding. This comes on the heels of destructive tornadoes in Oklahoma early Sunday morning.

C​urrent Activity

Below is a look at the latest radar for the region along with any active watches and/or warnings issued by the National Weather Service.

Severe Weather Forecast

The Storm Prediction Center is warning of possible tornadoes, damaging winds and large hail. T​he remaining potential for severe weather overnight stretches from eastern Texas into central Illinois.

Even though this rain is needed given the widespread drought, too much rain too quickly could cause flash flooding in many of the same areas at risk for severe weather. Areas from northwest Texas to northern Arkansas and southern Missouri have already picked up 2 to 7 inches of rain since last Friday.

F​lood watches have been issued for this threat by the National Weather Service from northern Texas into parts of Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri and Kansas.

F​lash flood warnings have also been issued across northern Arkansas and southern Missouri, with rainfall totals as of noon since midnight nearing or passing 6 inches in some spots.

If traveling, be sure to never drive through any floodwaters.
