00:00It has been a busy week for severe weather across the central United States, with wind, hail, flooding, and tornadoes
00:09both Monday and Tuesday, and we're not done with the severe weather quite yet.
00:14In fact, we're tracking strong thunderstorms as we go through Wednesday from the Midwest toward the Southern Plains and parts
00:22of the Ohio Valley as well.
00:24Now, this is the storm that's going to produce the severe weather.
00:26You can see it on the water vapor loop. You can see that spin now coming out of Colorado and
00:31into Kansas.
00:32On the southeastern flank, you see the green and the white. That's moisture that's going to help trigger the thunderstorms,
00:39especially as we go through Wednesday afternoon and Wednesday evening.
00:44Now, future radar looks a little different than yesterday.
00:47Yesterday, we had those individual cells across Wisconsin and Illinois and Iowa that produced the tornadoes.
00:54Here you see more clusters of thunderstorms during the afternoon and evening hours, and they're in lines, which tells us
01:01this is mostly going to be damaging winds and some hail, flash flooding as well.
01:07The tornado risk is not zero, but certainly lower as we go through Wednesday compared to Monday and Tuesday.
01:15And there's those moderate risks in the orange. And again, the main threat is going to be damaging winds.
01:21Now, here's the good news. As that system moves north and east Wednesday night and Thursday, it does weaken a
01:28little bit.
01:28So although we do have some severe weather from New York State down toward the Mid-South right now, the
01:34severe weather risk lowest on Thursday than we've seen all week.
