US Thunderstorms

During the middle and latter part of this week, many rounds of severe rainstorms will pose a threat to lives and property in portions of Plains and mid-western United States. A chain of rain will move eastward along the northern parts of the U.S.

This storm system will produce a wide area of rain and thunderstorms over the northern and central Plains. The windy weather will cover the Great Lakes and the Ohio Valley.

It is much expected that the storm is likely to turn intense from the Minnesota and Dakota border moving eastward affecting parts of Wisconsin and then to southward parts of Nebraska and Iowa on Tuesday. In addition, this storm has the potential to produce powerful winds, squalls, lightning and flooding. This weather system is also likely to form tornadoes.

Some of the cities that have the utmost chance of being hit by a strong storm on Tuesday include Fargo, North Dakota, South Dakota, Huron, Omaha, Nebraska, Minneapolis, Wisconsin and many more.

The violent storms may strike few locations either during two days or nights in a row or two to three times this week.

On Wednesday, some more areas from the Great lakes to parts of the Ohio and middle Mississippi can receive rain and thundershower activities.

As on Thursday, the caboose in this specific storm will cause a zone of strong and powerful thunderstorms to ascend again from Minnesota to Nebraska and Kansas, before extending eastward across the Midwest on Friday.

Vigorous to locally severe storms will target from Missouri and Illinois to Ohio and Michigan during later part of this week and possibly could influence some metro pockets of Chicago, St. Louis, Indianapolis, Cleveland and Pittsburg.
