A dangerous and potentially "violent" day of weather is developing across the Southern Plains on Monday, as forecasters warn a tornado outbreak and severe thunderstorms could lead to life-threatening conditions -- prompting schools across the region to close.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Storm Prediction Center issued a "high risk" assessment for the area from northwest Texas into western and central Oklahoma, a huge swath of land with the greatest risk of "potentially long-track and violent" tornadoes developing during the day.

"They have issued a rare high-risk area today, and that means all of the conditions are favorable for tornadoes," Fox News Senior Meteorologist Janice Dean said on "FOX & friends." "Long-track, potentially damaging and deadly tornadoes."

My little town in north central Texas was hit by a tornado Saturday morning.  It missed our church by a few feet but we had no damage.  Mercifully no one was killed, but there was quite a bit of damage.  Our city has never had a tornado in it's history....  It appears we are in the cross hairs again the next couple of days.  What a wonderful spring!

I have friends in OK, as that's where I went to college. They're hunkering down.
Looks like strong thunderstorms, possible flooding and hail today. This is from Facebook:
