Central U.S. Faces 5 Days of Severe Storms as Hurricane-Force Winds and Tornadoes Threaten
3 articles · Updated · The Washington Post · Jun 9
Summary
Monday opened a five-day stretch of severe weather across the central United States, with forecasters warning of destructive winds strong enough to reach hurricane force, large hail and a few tornadoes.
Tuesday is expected to bring the most widespread storms of the period, expanding the threat zone beyond Monday's initial outbreak areas.
By Wednesday, the storm corridor is forecast to shift northeast toward Canada and edge closer to major population centers including Minneapolis and Chicago.
Each of the next five days carries at least some risk of higher-end severe weather, signaling a prolonged and evolving threat rather than a single-day event.
