A wide-ranging storm system is moving across the country, bringing the threat of severe storms, flooding and snow across parts of the Central and Eastern US, from Texas to Virginia.
The potential for damaging weather ramps up on Monday, with over 50 million people under some threat of severe storms in states including Texas, Oklahoma and Missouri.
Here’s how the threats will play out over the next few days.
The main area of interest on Monday stretches from northeastern Texas to western Indiana, where the Storm Prediction Center has an enhanced risk for severe storms, or a level 3 of 5, in place.
Dallas, Fort Worth, Oklahoma City, Springfield and St. Louis are among the cities in the enhanced risk zone, where the main threats are tornadoes, large to very-large hail (greater than 2 inches in diameter) and damaging wind gusts.
“The severe threat will peak afternoon/evening in the southern Plains with the greatest threat for the Ohio Valley vicinity being the evening/overnight period,” the prediction center warns.
