Strong Storms Threaten Plains and Midwest With Tornadoes, Shifting East Later This Week

3 articles · Updated · The Weather Channel · Jun 9

Strong storms are set to keep battering the Plains and Midwest before expanding into the Great Lakes and Northeast later this week, with forecasters warning of repeated rounds in some areas.
Tornadoes, very large hail and damaging winds are the main threats as the storm complex pushes east, extending the severe-weather corridor beyond the central U.S.
Many of the same communities could be hit more than once, raising the risk of cumulative damage and keeping residents on alert through the week.
The latest forecast builds on an already broad outbreak threat that earlier reports said could affect more than 90 million people across the Midwest and northern Plains.
