The cyclone across the Central Plains should continue to
strengthen in response to impressive dynamics across the region.
In the warm sector, severe weather and scattered instances of
flash flooding are expected across the Gulf Coast and South. On
the cold side of the system, the central Plains and portions of
the Upper Midwest will see blizzard conditions. Extremely critical
fire weather conditions will also persist over southwestern Texas,
while hazardous gradient winds continue across much of the Central
U.S..

The next Storm Summary will be issued by the Weather Prediction
Center at 900 PM CST. Please refer to your local National Weather
Service office for additional information on this event.
