US Severe Weather Risk Shifts West: Central Plains on High Alert
Severe Weather Outlook Shifts Across the US: Central Plains Now in Focus May is historically the peak month for severe weather in the United States. Recent model projections from supercell composite parameter forecasts show a significant shift in risk areas. Initially, the Midwest and Southeast were identified as high-risk zones. However, as the forecast period progressed, the risk has shifted westward towards the Central Plains. "As you can see from these models," explains Peyton, a meteorologist from Oklahoma City, "there's a big shift of where severe weather can occur." The models show that from May 13th to the 19th, the risk was concentrated in the Midwest and Southeast. But by May 19th to the 26th, the risk zone had moved significantly westward, encompassing North Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas. The forecast continues to evolve. By May 26th to June 2nd, the risk area has further shifted northward into the Dakotas and Montana. While these models provide valuable insights, it's important to remember that they are not definitive predictions. Residents in the Central Plains are urged to remain vigilant and monitor weather updates closely during this active severe weather season. Staying informed is crucial for safety and preparedness.
