NORMAN, Okla. (AP) - Springtime storms will continue their march across the central U.S., with big hail and powerful winds again a concern in some areas.
The Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Oklahoma, says scattered severe storms are likely Wednesday from parts of north Texas and Oklahoma into the Midwest. Forecasters say tornadoes are also possible in those states and in Illinois and Iowa.
All week, various storm systems have pelted parts of the country with giant hail and spun up tornadoes, killing two people Monday in Oklahoma and injuring 10 people Tuesday in Kentucky.
The Storm Prediction Center received 231 damage or hail reports Tuesday in an area stretching from Colorado to Virginia, with the most damage concentrated in Kentucky.
