00:00Most of the time, if you have even a moderate to strong cold front, roll through the plains
00:05or the central U.S. in May.
00:07You're talking about severe weather, and that's what we have again this week.
00:10Now, our front's going to be pushing farther south for Tuesday afternoon and evening, looking
00:13for severe storms to break out near Dallas, up into areas around central and northern
00:18Arkansas, even into far western parts of Tennessee.
00:21Now, the greatest risk here with this setup will be damaging wind and some very large
00:25hail in a few cases.
00:27But for many, moderate-sized hail, about one inch in diameter, will be a very common
00:32occurrence with this storm.
00:33Some areas could see larger than that, though, by a big margin.
00:36And damaging wind will be a concern Tuesday afternoon and night as well.
00:39Isolated tornadoes will break out, and progressively through the rest of this week, we're going
00:43to see a heightening risk of flash flooding, relatively low risk of that for Tuesday, but
00:48it's going to step up due to the repetitive nature of the storms through the course of
00:51the week.
00:52There's also a small risk for severe storms, by the way, up into the interior northeast
00:55and northern New England on Tuesday as well.
00:58Wednesday, a new round of storms breaks out for many into the interior southeast as the
01:04tail of that front hangs out in that general zone.
01:07So we're going to be keeping an eye out for some strong storms again, parts of far east
01:10Texas, northern Louisiana, into the north-central part of Mississippi for Wednesday and into
01:14Wednesday night, places like Shreveport, Monroe, Louisiana, Greenville, Mississippi, and Tupelo
01:20will face some of the greatest hazards with that.
01:22And that front then moves farther east for Thursday with some strong to severe thunderstorms
01:26from the southern part of the Delmarva Peninsula, southeast Virginia, and the eastern Carolinas,
01:31where there's some meaningful drought relief, but also some gusty storms.
