Severe weather struck the Southern Plains Monday afternoon and evening as multiple tornadoes touched down in Oklahoma and Kansas, killing five in Oklahoma and injuring dozens of others. At least 40 homes were destroyed and more than 100 homes damaged in Oklahoma, as well. 
You can watch some of the tornado video here, which we showed on our Tuesday morning newscast:
The same upper storm system responsible for the severe weather yesterday is now tracking into the Upper Midwest today, overspreading rain to the region, including bringing the Commonwealth a chance for scattered showers. Severe threat will exist in primarily Oklahoma, Kansas, and Missouri today. Unfortunately, this does mean that already-damaged parts of the Southern Plains will be under the gun again today and tomorrow for severe thunderstorms. By Wednesday, the Commonwealth could have scattered thunderstorms, but severe threat is very low in our area because of limited moisture and lift.
