00:00Severe weather is charging back into the Midwest on Thursday, hot on the heels of the biggest tornado outbreak of
00:07the season that just tore through the region Friday afternoon into Friday night. After a barrage of twisters, damaging winds
00:15and large hail, the atmosphere is reloading. And once again, millions will be in the line of fire for more
00:21dangerous storms.
00:22Now, this is the storm that's going to do it, that upper low coming in the California. It is awfully
00:29late in the season to see a storm like this coming into the Golden State. As it charges across the
00:36Intermountain West later Tuesday night and Wednesday, we'll start getting thunderstorms as early as late Wednesday, Wednesday night across the
00:44high plains.
00:45We have a some risk, which means spotty severe storms. The main threat is going to be damaging winds and
00:51hail. But then as that storm moves out into the Midwest and plains on Thursday, it is going to be
00:56encountering a very warm air mass, an air mass that we would typically see in June and even early July.
01:05And that's when the thunderstorms expand. Look at the large area of at least some risk from the Canadian prairies
01:14all the way down to the Big Bend of Texas.
01:16And we're zoning in on that moderate area that includes cities like Sioux Falls, Omaha, Kansas City and Wichita. Main
01:25threats, especially in that moderate risk, is going to be very large hail, damaging winds.
01:30There will be isolated tornadoes, but we are not expecting the amount of tornadoes that we did see late Friday
01:37and Friday night.
