An outbreak of severe thunderstorms appears likely Wednesday and Wednesday night in parts of the Midwest, with the potential for widespread damaging wind gusts over several states from the southern Great Lakes to the Ohio Valley.
Low pressure pushing east along a warm front separating oppressively hot air from cooler air while being accompanied by a mid-level atmospheric disturbance is the setup for this potentially volatile severe threat.
Derechos, long-lived and widespread thunderstorm wind damage events, sometimes develop in this type of atmospheric setup, though it remains to be seen whether one of those will develop Wednesday or not.
