Meteorologist Becca Parker will be live at 2:15 p.m. CT on YouTube with the latest update on the severe weather outbreak happening Thursday.

Wednesday was a busy day for severe storms that affected the South. Thursday makes round two of severe weather, but this time will be over the usual tornado alley area, where a few strong tornadoes and large hail are possible through the evening hours.

Thursday's severe threat.

Parts of the U.S. are once again under a moderate risk (level 4 out of 5 in the severity scale) of severe storms that could produce damaging wind gusts, large hail, and a few tornadoes. Hail could be larger than 2 inches in diameter and the damaging wind gusts could exceed 80 mph.

What areas are at risk?

The first threat of the day will be storms, some that could develop tornadoes over northern Florida, southern Georgia and southern Mississippi and Alabama. In fact, there is a tornado watch in effect until 3 p.m. CT, for south central Alabama, north Florida, and southern Georgia.

The late morning WeatherRadar shows that the stationary front is producing strong to severe storms moving across southern Alabama and Georgia and they will continue to move southward and affect cities such as Pensacola, and Tallahassee, Fla.

A low-pressure system and a warm front will bring a strong risk for more powerful and prolific storms to affect much of Oklahoma and southwestern Kansas, including Norman and Oklahoma City. This area is under a moderate risk, level 4 of 5, of experiencing strong storms that could produce large hail and strong tornadoes during the second half of the afternoon into the evening.

There could also be some strong thunderstorms affecting the Dallas Metroplex area after 5 p.m. CT, along a warm front that will be moving through the region.

Please make sure to have at least 3 ways of receiving weather alerts if you are in areas at risk.

Friday’s risk

Expect another round of severe storms, but this time a slight risk, level 2 of 5, on Friday to affect the Oklahoma Panhandle and southwestern Kansas, due to another low-pressure system exiting the Rockies.
