NORMAN, Okla. (AP) - The Storm Prediction Center says a portion of the Ohio and Mississippi valleys could see strong winds and perhaps tornadoes Thursday afternoon.
The Oklahoma-based forecasters warned there is a “moderate risk” of severe weather in an area from Louisville, Ky., to near Tupelo, Miss. A slight risk of severe weather surrounds that region, from the central Gulf coast to southern Illinois, Indiana and Ohio and into the western Appalachians.
A cold front is approaching the region from the west. The Storm Prediction Center says thunderstorms would begin forming in a line from St. Louis to Texarkana, Ark., then move eastward. The storms could contain damaging winds, and some could contain tornadoes.
