More severe weather coming to Corn Belt

There’s more severe weather coming for parts of the Corn Belt this weekend.  Brownfield meteorologist Greg Soulje says it’s a similar system that brought tornadoes and thunderstorms into Missouri and Illinois, “Another weather system expected to congeal, coming out of the southwest, organizing in just about the same fashion. Again, severe weather prospects. Parts of Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas and then severe weather into Missouri in some of the hard hit areas and probably a little broader, farther reach into the Ohio Valley and the eastern Lakes region.”

He says the severe weather will stretch into Wednesday and Thursday of next week, “Again, kind of a double or triple-edged sword if you want to put it in that perspective. Severe weather, hail, high wind, tornadic activity and, of course, rainfall in many areas of the Midwest and Plains where we do not need one more drop of it.”

A break in the pattern is coming but Soulje says it could be the first week to 10 days of June before it BEGINS to settle down.
