Storms could bring high temperatures to Texas and tornadoes to Oklahoma over Memorial Day weekend, forecasters warn
CBSN
Forecasters are warning of another day of heightened risk of dangerous tornadoes in the Midwest on Saturday and telling people in south Texas they may experience triple-digit temperatures — and that's with four weeks to go before summer starts.
The weather service in Oklahoma compared the day to "a gasoline-soaked brush pile." Forecasters aren't certain storms will form, but any that do could explode with large hail, dangerous winds and tornadoes. The millions of people traveling for Memorial Day weekend have been warned that the wild weather could play havoc with travel plans.
"There's a small chance most of the matches are duds and we only see a few storms today. Still, that's not a match I would want to play with. It only takes one storm to be impactful," the National Weather Service in Norman, Oklahoma, wrote on Facebook.
