Oklahoma, Kansas storms: Deadly tornado reported in Oklahoma

After a night of severe storms brought tornadoes, damaging wind gusts, large hail and heavy rain across parts of the Central US, the severe storm threat heads to more populated areas of the East on Tuesday.

Nearly 100 million people from Texas to Pennsylvania are under a severe storm threat, Tuesday, though the Ohio Valley is likely to see the worst of the storms, according to the Storm Prediction Center.

The strongest threat, level 3 of 5, covers most of Indiana, as well as northern Kentucky and western Ohio. The area includes Indianapolis, Columbus and Cincinnati in Ohio and Lexington, Kentucky.

"A few tornadoes, potentially strong, large to very large hail, and severe/damaging winds all appear possible" in the region, the Storm Prediction Center warns.

The area surrounding this region is under a less severe, level 2 of 5, threat, which stretches from the northeastern tip of Arkansas to southern Michigan, including Chicago and Nashville. 

This area could also see isolated tornadoes, large hail and damaging wind gusts.

A much larger area extending from Texas to Wisconsin and east into Pennsylvania is under a low risk, level 1 of 5 of severe storms, including hail and strong winds. Cities in the area include Dallas, Austin, Detroit, Memphis, Birmingham, Charlotte and Pittsburgh.

On Wednesday, the storms will continue to soak the East from the southern Plains into the mid-Mississippi, Ohio and Tennessee valleys, the prediction center forecasts.

"All severe hazards, including tornadoes, very large hail, and severe/damaging winds should occur. Some of the tornadoes may be strong," the prediction center said.
