Violent storm could strike the Plains again today

The devastating tornado that hit Joplin may have been just one blow in an outbreak of severe weather that could strike Plains states again today.

Forecasters said Monday that people in Kansas, Oklahoma, northern Texas and western Missouri should monitor the weather closely.

“This is a very serious situation that’s brewing and it is possible, if not likely, that we’ll be moving to our highest alert status sometime during the next 12 to 24 hours as we gather more information,” said Russell Schneider, director of the Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Okla.

Cities affected, he said, include Joplin, Wichita, Kansas City, Topeka, Oklahoma City and Tulsa.

1. This is a good site for the interactive map:

Just click on those areas with a shading to them for the warnings in that area. You may have so zoom in for the storm area as it's pretty concentrated with warnings.
