LOWER MO VALLEY— A developing frontal boundary is dramatically dropping temperatures in the Plains and Midwest tonight, tapping into rich gulf moisture as it drops farther south. Storms have been developing and look to continue into early Sunday morning.

Tornadoes are also possible from the Red River into southwestern Missouri. This includes a 5% chance for Central Oklahoma.
