As a former 'bomb-cyclone' tracks across the northern Plains and Midwest from Friday to Saturday, a surge of warm and humid air will raise the risk of damaging and dangerous thunderstorms over the south-central United States.
The strongest storms have the potential to produce high, straight-line wind gusts to 60 mph. There may also be a couple of isolated tornadoes.
"While a cluttered atmosphere with cloud cover and showers may inhibit the formation of severe thunderstorms for part of the day on Friday, conditions are likely to change enough to support severe weather by Friday evening in parts of Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas," according to AccuWeather Lead Storm Warning Meteorologist Eddie Walker.
The risk of severe thunderstorms will shift eastward during Friday night and Saturday over the lower Mississippi Valley.
The threat will advance eastward across southwestern Missouri, western Arkansas and western Louisiana later Friday night and can reach into Mississippi, southeastern Missouri and western Tennessee on Saturday.

In addition to the risk of isolated tornadoes and strong wind gusts, sudden downpours can bring a rapid drop in visibility and cause water to collect in poor drainage areas on streets and highways.
Motorists venturing through this area from late Friday through Saturday should keep alert for rapidly changing weather conditions and closely monitor severe weather bulletins as they are issued.
Blustery and cooler conditions will follow the thunderstorm threat from northwest to southeast across the region from Saturday to Sunday.
