It
looks like the weather over the United States will briefly get
interesting again over the next few days, and as with all interesting
weather, it spells danger for millions of people. Areas from Chicago to
Detroit are at risk for large hail, damaging winds, and possibly an
isolated tornado tomorrow.
Severe Weather Threatens the Midwest Tomorrow
There are
two areas at risk for severe weather on Saturday; the first covers much
of northern Minnesota and small parts of North Dakota and Wisconsin,
with the second covering a swath of real estate from Illinois to
Michigan, including the entire Chicago metro area and the extreme
western Detroit metro.
The Storm
Prediction Center issued the northernmost slight risk—including
Duluth—based on the potential for thunderstorms that could reach
"marginal" severe levels, with hail to the size of quarters and 60 MPH
wind gusts possible.
The slight
risk for severe weather exists in anticipation of strong thunderstorms
developing along the leading edge of a cold front as it dips through the
area during the day on Saturday. The agency warns that storms that do
form have the potential to produce large hail (quarter size or larger)
and some bowing segments may produce wind gusts of 60+ MPH. The SPC also
notes that a tornado or two is possible if storms can tap into any
low-level rotation present across the area.
