NORMAN, Okla. (AP) — There is a threat of strong thunderstorms with possible tornadoes in the nation’s midsection. The National Weather Service issued a tornado warning in the Texas Panhandle Tuesday afternoon and a tornado watch from the Panhandle through western Oklahoma and into western Kansas in addition to much of northern Wisconsin. The weather service’s Storm Prediction Center says the greatest risk of tornadoes is in western Oklahoma and the eastern Panhandle of Texas. There is a slight chance of tornadoes extending from southern Texas across the western half of Oklahoma through Kansas, Wisconsin, Nebraska and Iowa into southeastern Minnesota and northwestern Missouri. The Storm Prediction Center says strong wind gusts and large, damaging hail are also possible throughout the region.
