Texas to Minnesota: More Than 40 Million in Severe Storm Risk Area

Severe weather, including the risk of a small number of tornadoes, will return to the Plains this week with the bulk of the activity on Thursday.
The coverage and volatility of severe weather is forecast to increase late Wednesday to Thursday over the middle of the nation.
The potential for thunderstorms packing large hail, downpours and locally damaging wind later Wednesday into Wednesday night will reach from northeastern Colorado, across northern Nebraska and South Dakota to much of Wisconsin, Iowa and southern Minnesota. An arm of spotty severe storms will extend southward to west-central Texas as well.
 
Thursday's severe weather outbreak will yield numerous thunderstorms capable of producing dangerous weather ranging from frequent lightning strikes and damaging winds to large hail and flooding downpours. A small number of the storms can also produce tornadoes.
