Meteorologist Warns of Possible Severe Weather Outbreak Mid-November Across Central and Southern Plains
OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLAHOMA — Meteorologist and storm chaser Reed Timmer has warned that the United States could see a significant uptick in severe weather activity during mid-November, particularly across the central and southern Plains.
Timmer, known for his live storm-chasing missions in the Dominator vehicle, shared new weather models suggesting conditions may become favorable for tornadoes and strong thunderstorms between November 11–24.
Forecast Models Show Mid-Month Risk Zone
According to the latest CFSv2 forecast maps shared by Timmer, a concentrated area of elevated storm potential stretches from Texas through Oklahoma and into parts of Kansas, Arkansas, and Missouri. The models show enhanced instability and moisture return beginning around November 11–17, with another stronger wave of potential activity expected between November 18–24.
“Live storm chase mode in the Dominator may be needed around the middle of this month,” Timmer wrote in his post, emphasizing that the severe weather pattern could persist into late November.
Experts Eye Late-Season Tornado Threat
Meteorologists note that while November tornadoes are less common than spring outbreaks, the southern Plains often experience secondary severe weather seasons due to lingering warm air masses colliding with advancing cold fronts.
If conditions align, parts of Oklahoma, Texas, and Louisiana could see strong storms capable of damaging winds, large hail, and isolated tornadoes. Weather experts are urging residents across the region to monitor forecasts closely as the setup develops.
Storm Chasers on Alert
Timmer’s announcement has already caught the attention of storm chasers nationwide, many of whom are preparing for potential deployments. Live chase teams could be mobilized in coming weeks to document and track any developing supercells.
While long-range models remain subject to change, meteorologists agree that the data shows a “notable signal” for severe weather, warranting public awareness and preparedness.
Public Safety and Preparedness
Residents in the central and southern Plains are advised to review severe weather safety plans and ensure they have access to real-time alerts as November’s storm window approaches. Authorities typically recommend keeping emergency kits, charged mobile devices, and safe shelter options ready in advance.
For now, experts say the next few days will provide more clarity on how strong the system could become.
