Meteorological synopsis
On April 20, 2024, the Storm Prediction Center first noted a 15% severe weather risk on April 26, covering across a widespread area from central Iowa to northeastern Oklahoma.[4] This was maintained through the next two days, with the risk area being expanded into northeastern Texas on April 22.[5][6]
On April 24, a widespread level 2/slight risk area was issued by the Storm Prediction Center, which also covered areas previously under the 15% risk two days earlier.[7] A level 3/enhanced risk was included the next day in an area across southeastern Nebraska, southwestern Iowa, northeastern Kansas, and northwestern Missouri, which included the Kansas City metropolitan area.[8] The enhanced risk included a significant 10% tornado risk, and a significant 30% hail risk.[8] The enhanced risk area was then expanded eastward several hours later.[9] On April 26, the enhanced risk was expanded in the Storm Prediction Center's Day 1 outlook southward into portions of Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Texas, which included the Ark-La-Tex region.[10]
