Blazing heat across central Europe is setting the stage for a severe weather event that will last through Wednesday night.
A cold front slicing into what is proving to be the hottest air mass so far this year is putting areas from eastern France to western Poland and northern Italy at risk for violent thunderstorms.
Thunderstorms, some severe, developed across western and northern France before spreading into Belgium, Netherlands and northwestern Germany on Monday.
The strongest thunderstorms produced damaging winds, hail and blinding downpours. According to the Associated Press, at least six people were killed during the storms on Monday, including three who were seeking shelter in a building when a tree fell onto it. Firefighters rescued six others from the damaged building.
