AccuWeather: Severe storms to erupt along midwestern US I-80 corridor through Thursday

After violent thunderstorms closed out Easter in the southern Plains, parts of the central United States will face additional rounds of severe weather this week. The next storm to emerge into the Plains will arrive at midweek, putting the central Plains at risk for severe weather.

The zone from central Kansas to southeastern Nebraska and northwestern Missouri will be at risk. This includes Wichita, Kansas, and Kansas City, Missouri. Cities such as Omaha, Nebraska; Kansas City, Missouri; as well as Des Moines and Davenport, Iowa; will be within the Wednesday threat area.

“The primary weather concerns with Wednesday’s storms will be damaging winds, large hail and a few tornadoes,” according to AccuWeather Storm Warning Meteorologist Richard Schraeger. “Local flash flooding will also be a concern across these areas,” Schraeger said. “That is especially true in central Kansas, near the Flint Hills along I-35, where controlled fires have been ongoing early this spring.”

North of Wednesday's strongest thunderstorms, soaking rain will fall on part of the Upper Midwest. If the storm’s path is farther to the north or south of what is currently expected, the severe weather danger would also shift in that direction.

Locally strong thunderstorms will shift eastward into the Ohio Valley and to parts of the central Appalachians on Thursday.

Meanwhile, the next round of severe weather will likely begin to take shape Thursday night and Friday over the southern Plains and continue farther to the east over the weekend. There is the potential for a significant outbreak of severe weather that includes tornadoes over the South Central states from late this week through this weekend.
