The NWS warned of multiple, intense and long-lasting tornadoes in those areas, describing the situation as dangerous.
The weather agency said: "If you live in these areas, go to the strongest structure you have access to and stay put until the storms pass."
A house belonging to one of the 12 people killed in Missouri was destroyed by a tornado.
