Midwest, South brace for wild weekend weather; North Carolina cleans up

As parts of North Carolina dug out from the impact of powerful tornadoes, much of the central United States is bracing for even more severe weather this weekend in the form of tornadoes, damaging winds and hail. The National Weather Service's Storm Prediction Center, which monitors severe weather across the United States, noted only a slight chance of severe weather for Saturday. But things should get much more dangerous over the three days following. That's all due to a storm that's moving eastward from the Rockies.

 

CNN meteorologist Matt Daniels predicts a slight risk of severe storms Saturday evening from central Texas into southeast South Dakota. This may include damaging winds and large hail, but does not rule out a few tornadoes. On Sunday, most of Arkansas and neighboring areas -- including Shreveport, Louisiana, and Springfield, Missouri -- face the highest chance of severe weather, though states as far north as North Dakota, and southeast to Georgia, also could be in harm's way.
