A significant weather event is forecasted to impact the Plains, including Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas, with severe weather conditions expected from Thursday through the weekend. The Weather Channel predicts scattered severe thunderstorms, posing threats of large hail, damaging winds, and tornadoes. The risk extends from Minnesota to Oklahoma on Thursday, with potential for hail larger than golf balls and strong wind gusts. The situation is likely to escalate over the weekend, with supercell thunderstorms in the Central and Southern Plains potentially producing tornadoes, very large hail, and damaging winds. This follows a recent period of intense weather, with over 1,300 severe weather reports, including 152 tornadoes, across the U.S. last week.
