Severe weather threatens nearly 90 million, covering large swath of US as storms barrel into weekend
Severe storms remain ongoing and are expected to continue to pose problems throughout the day Friday from the southern Plains to the Southeast. Wind gusts topping more than 60 mph, a few tornadoes and very large to giant hail are the main concerns.
The pattern will show little change compared to Thursday, and, once again, a Level 3 out of 5 severe weather risk has been issued across the High Plains.
The overall pattern supports multiple opportunities for severe storms through Saturday and potentially into early next week from Texas through Georgia, the FOX Forecast Center said.
Supercell cuts path through 2 states, producing tornadoes live on FOX Weather
A powerful supercell thunderstorm trekked across eastern New Mexico and West Texas on Thursday, producing tornadoes, large hail, damaging winds and flash flooding.
This single storm spawned an astonishing 19 tornadoes, the FOX Forecast Center said, causing significant damage that ranged from mobile homes being overturned to roofs being ripped off buildings.
The storm traveled more than 80 miles, producing its first tornadoes around Causey, New Mexico, and not giving up before reaching Lubbock, Texas, during the evening hours, where most of the impacts were felt.
FOX Weather Exclusive Storm Tracker Brandon Copic was able to take video of the cell, which produced a rope-like, dusty twister out in what many would proverbially call ‘the middle of nowhere.’
