Storms Drop Tennis Ball-Sized Hail Over Central U.S

Storms Drop Tennis Ball-Sized Hail Over Central U.S During First Evening Of A Multi-Day Severe Weather Condition

Severe thunderstorms are moving through the Plains, starting a multiday event of large hail, wind damage and a few tornadoes each day through Friday.

The severe weather threat is being fueled by an upper-level jet stream disturbance punching into the central US, where an area of low pressure has developed at the surface.

In addition to the tornado threat, plenty of #hail the size of baseballs and tennis balls fell around Oklahoma.

During the evening commute, drivers along several interstates found shelter under overpasses, which is not an advised safety precaution during a Tornado Warning, due to the potential for flying debris.

Make sure that you have multiple ways to reliably receive weather alerts.
