The next threat of severe storms and flooding takes shape this weekend as a new system of storms is set to rock the Plains and the Midwest.

The FOX Forecast Center said days of heavy rain and severe storms have the potential for flash flooding, along with strong winds and hail. The threat of tornadoes cannot be ruled out either.

The next storm system is already taking shape in the northwest and will reach the Plains on Saturday.

Severe storm will illuminate Plains this weekend

The storm system will move into the southwest desert on Saturday before spreading across much of the southern and central Plains. The FOX Forecast Center said moderate instability is expected to develop along the western edge of the moist air mass from eastern New Mexico to west Texas.

Thunderstorms that develop in this region are likely to be severe. Supercells can produce large hail and some severe wind gusts over 60 miles per hour.

The FOX Forecast Center said forecasts Sunday are quite good for severe thunderstorms developing from northwest Texas to western and central Oklahoma north into Kansas.

Moderate wind shear and atmospheric energy should support supercell development, with the potential for major hail and wind damage. The threat should continue into the evening as scattered severe storms move eastward across the southern and central Plains.
