More severe weather likely for an area that’s seen plenty already

Strong storms – including the threat of more tornadoes – are expected again in southeast Kansas and northeast Oklahoma later today.

The death toll from Saturday’s storms is now up to 23, officials say: 7 in Picher, Okla., 14 in western Missouri just across the border and 2 in Georgia.

The Storm Prediction Center of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has placed the southeast corner of Kansas – along with the eastern half of Oklahoma and portions of Missouri, Texas and Arkansas – in a moderate risk for severe weather.

An area of Kansas essentially east of the Kansas Turnpike is in a slight risk for severe weather.
