Tornadoes moving through the south-central U.S. have killed at least one person and injured several.

The strong storms moving through Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas also left several people missing.

The U.S. National Weather Service said the tornadoes were the result of a strong cold front passing through the southern Plains.

The weather service also said a cold front in the West will bring heavy mountain snow and high winds to the Northwest.
