WICHITA, Kan. (AP) - The National Weather Service warns of a possible tornado outbreak in the Great Plains tomorrow with conditions similar to a deadly day in 1974 when 39 tornadoes touched down.
Computer forecasting models resemble those on June 8, 1974, when more than three dozen tornadoes touched down in the southern Plains and killed 22 people, including six in Emporia.
NWS meteorologist Robb Lawson said "this event warrants more
advance warning."
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Storm Prediction Center has been warning for days of the outbreak.
Mike Smith is CEO of WeatherData, a subsidiary of AccuWeather. He says some forecasters are predicting the tornadoes could hit a corridor stretching from northern Oklahoma to central Iowa. That area would include much of Kansas and northwest Missouri.
