Much of central US faces severe thunderstorm threat and possible tornadoes
WASHINGTON (AP) — Tens of millions of Americans stretching from Lincoln, Nebraska, to Baltimore could face strong thunderstorms tonight through Wednesday, with tornadoes possible in some states.
A large storm system hitting much of the central U.S. over the next few days is expected to bring severe thunderstorms to Kansas and Nebraska on Monday evening, the National Weather Service’s Storm Prediction Center said.
The two states could see strong tornadoes, too, while parts of Oklahoma, Missouri and Virginia face a slight risk.
Severe scattered thunderstorms are also expected to bring strong winds, hail and flash flooding.
WHAT AREAS ARE MOST AT RISK?
After moving through the Great Plains, NWS says the the storm system could move into the Mississippi Valley, Great Lakes and Ohio Valley areas on Tuesday and bring “severe weather and isolated flash flooding.”
Southern Iowa, Northern Missouri and Central Illinois face the largest threat of “significant hail and tornado potential,” on Tuesday the agency said.
