In Oklahoma and Arkansas, tornadoes struck areas near Chewey, Peggs, and Van Buren, with radar-confirmed damage to buildings and the potential for additional storms. West Texas experienced multiple tornadoes, with the National Weather Service actively investigating the aftermath. The Kansas City metro area was hit by two weak tornadoes during a line of strong storms, with one causing EF-1 level damage, snapping and uprooting trees along a nearly four-mile path.
