Just a few hours ago, the NWS Storm Prediction Center issued a warning for parts of Central U.S. The advisory includes the overview and timing of the potential storm, along with risks and what safety actions to take.

"[Oct 30]: Severe storms are expected today & tonight across parts of the Mid-MO Valley into OK/KS. Supercells & line segments producing scattered damaging wind, isolated large hail & a few tornadoes (a couple strong) are expected."

Harsh conditions are expected to intensify in the afternoon and into the evening.

Here's the very latest.

​​​​​Thunderstorms, tornadoes, and cold winter weather are expected to be scattered across the U.S. for Wednesday. Southeastern Nebraska, northwestern Missouri, eastern Kansas, and parts of northeastern Oklahoma are all on watch for potential large hail, tornadoes and damaging high speed winds.

The National Weather Service in Des Moines issued an advisory just two hours ago on X, warning locals to have a plan in place and to keep up-to-date with the weather forecast.

"Extent of tornado threat remains uncertain but tornadoes are possible after dark & fast moving storms may provide limited visuals/time to seek shelter. Have a plan in place and pay close attention to the weather if you have any outdoor plans later today," NWS Des Moines wrote on X.

The NWS suggests severe storms will pick up into the evening.

"Although showers/storms are expected to increase in coverage & intensity this AM into the afternoon hours, severe storms are most probable during the afternoon into evening hours, 12p-12a. Highest risk for severe storms (level 2 of 5) today will be in southern IA."

Central Wisconsin to northeastern Texas also run the risk of isolated instances of flash flooding, despite recent dry weather.

According to Fox Weather, Oklahoma and Missouri are currently under a level 3 out of 5 risk on the thunderstorm scale.

Fox Weather reports, "NOAA’s Storm Prediction Center (SPC) has placed more than 3 million people from Oklahoma to Missouri in a Level 3 out of 5 risk on its 5-point severe thunderstorm risk scale, including those living or working in the Kansas City metro in Missouri."

The storms are set to develop by mid-afternoon on Wednesday. For those taking part in "trunk-or-treat" activities in the problematic areas, be on standby for weather alerts.
