Forecasters are warning of another day of heightened risk of dangerous tornadoes in the Midwest

on Saturday and telling people in south Texas it may feel like close to 120 degrees Fahrenheit almost four weeks 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. “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.

Red Flag fire warnings are also in place in west Texas, all of New Mexico and parts of Oklahoma, Arizona and Colorado, where very low humidity of below 10%, wind gusts of up to 60 mph combine with the hot temperatures. “We’ve got very dry air, warm temperatures and strong winds creating a high fire danger over a wide area ... that can lead to rapidly spreading or uncontrollable fires,” Taylor said.
