At least 100 million at risk for severe weather from Saturday to Monday
As a complex storm setup unfolds, AccuWeather meteorologists warn that daily rounds of severe weather, including the risk of tornadoes, will first develop over the Mississippi Valley this weekend then shift toward the Atlantic coast by early next week.
While the situation is not quite as volatile as some prior severe weather outbreaks this month, where there have been more than 1,900 preliminary incidents of severe weather, including more than 220 tornadoes, the daily events can escalate to put a number of lives in danger and pose a significant risk to property.
Ahead of the main areas of severe weather this weekend, a couple of pockets of heavy thunderstorms on Thursday can become severe at the local level.
One area of locally severe thunderstorms is forecast to extend from northeastern Kansas and southeastern Nebraska to southwestern Indiana and northwestern Kentucky. The main threat in this zone will be from strong wind gusts and hail to flash flooding downpours.
