and no thunder, while the sun shone brightly. It was weird.

When NM gets rain in fall and spring, look out downstream!

Keep an eye on the skies as you head home this evening, as severe weather is likely from Texas to Oklahoma through Arkansas, Missouri, and southern Illinois. In fact, severe thunderstorm watches are in effect through 9 p.m. CT.

Even though October is not typically thought of as prime tornado season in this part of the country, the ingredients will be present for severe thunderstorms and a few tornadoes through Thursday in parts of the nation's heartland. Some of these areas were hit by destructive tornadoes during the first week of October last year.
