(CNN) -- Tornado warnings were issued Thursday afternoon for portions of Kansas and Oklahoma, which were expected to bear the brunt of a severe thunderstorm system that was moving east.
Tornado watches extended into northern Texas, according to the National Weather Service.
The agency was predicting a few strong tornadoes, damaging wind and hail.
Western Arkansas, southeast Kansas, extreme southwest Missouri, eastern Oklahoma and extreme northeast Texas are considered the most vulnerable regions.
This system will set the stage for severe weather over the next few days, according to CNN meteorologist Sean Morris. Large, damaging hail up to the size of softballs also will be possible with these storms.
Storms were expected to develop along the Interstate 35 corridor in central Oklahoma and become severe. They will then move into the middle and upper Mississippi Valley, forecasters said.
The tornado threat will recede from the Plains Friday afternoon, even as it grows in the Deep South. Twisters will be a possibility across northern Mississippi and Alabama and into central Tennessee on Friday afternoon.
The storm system will press forward into Georgia and the Carolinas overnight Friday and into Saturday morning. The forecast says the primary threat there will be damaging thunderstorm winds,
