Tornado Risk This Afternoon through Tuesday

Tornado season in the Plains begins today.

Here is the Storm Prediction Center's forecast of tornadoes this afternoon and tonight.

The significant risk is in brown (5%). There is a very small, but non-zero, risk in Southern California and as far north as the KS-NE border.

For Tuesday, the all modes of severe weather (hail and damaging thunderstorm winds, as well as tornadoes) map shows the highest probabilities in south Texas.

So, the normal cautions apply!
