The US Midwest Is Still At Risk For Severe Storms
As it approaches the northern Rockies, a fresh weather sample is threatening to bring multiple rounds of storms to the Plains.
Early this morning, storms have already passed through the northern Plains, and Severe Thunderstorm Watches are in effect from northern Nebraska to northern Iowa, southern Minnesota, and west-central Wisconsin.
As these storms weaken and move towards the Upper Great Lakes later today, another round of storms is expected to develop across the northern Plains by late afternoon through tonight. The main concerns with these storms are strong gusts of wind and large hail, although a few tornadoes could also form.

The Storm Prediction Center (SPC) has issued a Slight Risk alert for much of the north-central U.S., including areas like South Dakota, Fargo, N.D., Valentine and McCook, Neb., Minneapolis, and La Crosse, Wisc.
Additionally, as temperatures rise and humidity increases, there will be scattered storms developing across the central and southern High Plains later today and into the evening. Some of these storms could become severe from eastern Colorado and western Kansas southward into the Texas Panhandle.
For the most recent information, it’s critical to check WeatherBug frequently, as a watch could turn into a warning in an instant if there is an urgent threat. Recognise the difference between a watch and a warning to be ready for any active weather. A watch means conditions are favorable for severe weather, while a warning means severe weather is imminent and action should be taken to protect property and lives. Remember the saying, “When Thunder Roars, Go Indoors!”
