00:00May, the typical peak of severe weather season has been anything but to this point, but that is going to
00:05change and then some over the next several days. I'm coming to you from Columbia, Missouri, day one of likely
00:10four or five day stretch of severe weather tracking as we're going to be out across northwest Missouri today, southeast
00:17Nebraska, southwest Iowa, also looking at the threat for damaging winds, hail, maybe an isolated tornado later today, but really
00:23the threats likely going to be damaging winds that will eventually move toward the Kansas City I 70 corridor as
00:29we get later into the
00:30overnight. Saturday, we shift our focus back west across northwest north central Kansas and then southwest and south central Nebraska,
00:37ticking up that severe weather threat at Saturday and then we really start to ramp things up as we get
00:41Sunday into Monday as that severe weather threat goes into high end mode. We could be looking at severe weather
00:46outbreaks Sunday and Monday that includes the risk of damaging hail and winds as well as potential for tornadoes as
00:52well, likely peaking on Monday across portions of Iowa and the surrounding states and it may be some mop up
00:58severe weather on Tuesday as that system
01:00finally starts to work its way off to the east. So a very busy stretch of severe weather for a
01:04large part of the country in the next several days. Make sure you have that AccuWeather app handy to get
01:08those warnings to you as quickly as possible. And of course, keep it here as well. We will be keeping
01:12track of that severe weather into early next week. Reporting from Columbia, Missouri for AccuWeather, I'm meteorologist Tony Lawback.
