US EditionMulti-day severe storm threat to batter central US for days
About a dozen states face destructive hail, damaging winds and a few tornadoes as repeated storms also worsen flooding in the Upper Midwest.
- A massive storm system spanning more than 1,600 miles threatens the central United States through Friday, with Tuesday marking the most dangerous window as more than 14 million people in the Midwest face a Level 3 of 5 risk of severe thunderstorms.
- Meteorologists warn the storms are particularly dangerous due to their repetitive, back-to-back nature, with destructive hail and wind gusts reaching up to 85 mph expected to pummel the region over multiple days.
- The Muskegon River near Evart, Michigan, is forecast to hit major flood stage of 14 feet by Wednesday, prompting authorities to urge residents near the Cheboygan County Lock and Dam to prepare for possible evacuations.
- AccuWeather Meteorologist Elizabeth Danco warned these conditions will likely "slow travel on highways, cause airport delays and create ripple effects for businesses and commuters," urging the public to review safety plans immediately.
- A brief reprieve is expected on Thursday as severe conditions ease, though a new storm system moving out of the Northwest will reignite potent thunderstorms on Friday, especially from Oklahoma to Iowa.
