00:00We have a high risk of severe weather Monday afternoon and Monday night, and once again, it's the Midwest that
00:07will be in the crosshairs yet again.
00:10Some of the cities within that high risk, Davenport, Iowa, Peoria, Illinois, St. Louis, Missouri, Paducah, Kentucky.
00:18Notice the modifiers, widespread damaging winds, large hail, no modifiers for the tornadoes.
00:24It's not isolated. We're expecting a tornado outbreak.
00:28That high risk within a large area of at least some risk of severe weather this afternoon and tonight that
00:35spans from Green Bay, Wisconsin, all the way down to Little Rock, Arkansas.
00:41And we are expecting tornadoes. Let's look at future radar here.
00:46The threat for tornadoes is going to be between 4 p.m. and about 9 p.m. tonight when we
00:51start seeing those discrete cells, those individual cells across Iowa, Missouri and southern Illinois.
00:59After about 8 o'clock, though, the discrete cells go what we call more linear lines of thunderstorms.
01:05That's where we start ramping up the damaging winds.
01:09There will be large hail, and of course, there still can be an isolated tornado or two.
01:14The good news, if any, after midnight, we think the thunderstorms weaken just a little bit,
01:20but we are expecting dozens of tornadoes, especially in this red area where we could see strong tornadoes, EF3 or
01:27greater,
01:28and some of them could be long track as well.
