@Accuweatherquote:The collision of chilly air arriving from the West with warm, developing strong winds aloft and warm, moist air in place over the central United States may come together Friday into Saturday.
The first severe weather incidents are likely to develop Friday just east and south of the center of a large the storm system.
According to AccuWeather.com's Severe Weather Expert Henry Margusity, "The setup could yield storms with tornadoes centered over Iowa Friday afternoon and expand to parts of southeastern Minnesota and southwestern Wisconsin late in the day and during the evening."
The storms could hit some communities as students are heading home from school or partaking in Friday evening sporting activities, such as high school football.
Additional severe storms are likely to continue to ignite and expand southwestward Friday night.
Storms over parts of Kansas, Oklahoma, north-central Texas and northwestern Missouri late Friday into Friday night have the potential to bring damaging wind gusts, hail and perhaps a few tornadoes Margusity stated.
Cities that are at risk for dangerous weather conditions Friday and/or Friday night include Rochester, Minn.; Kansas City, Mo.; Wichita, Kan.; Oklahoma City; Des Moines, Iowa; and Madison, Wis.
The storms could catch people off guard with rapidly changing weather conditions.
According to AccuWeather Enterprise Solutions' Expert Senior Meteorologist Scott Breit, "Storms over the central and southern Plains are likely to become fast-movers with an elevated risk of high winds."
A strong flow of air around the the storm system would continue the potential for strong wind gusts in the wake of the thunderstorms over the Plains Friday night and Saturday.
Gusts in many areas may range between 40 and 60 mph, which are strong enough to cause sporadic power outages and difficult crosswinds for lightweight and high-profile vehicles.
Severe weather may then focus from eastern Wisconsin and the western Lower Peninsula of Michigan to northwestern Indiana, Illinois, southeastern Missouri and Arkansas during Saturday, perhaps impacting additional high school games as well as some college football games.
Severe weather could affect the cities of Chicago, St. Louis and Milwaukee during part of Saturday.
Since the severe weather is several days away, the timing of the storms will be fine-tuned as the week progresses.
People from the Midwest to the southern Plains should monitor the situation carefully, especially on Friday, when the first violent storms are forecast to ignite.
On the storm's colder side, heavy snow can fall from parts of the northern Rockies to the northern Plains and northern Minnesota spanning Thursday into Saturday.
Meanwhile, high winds will also buffet Southern California Friday into Saturday, raising concerns for wildfires.
The storm forecast to bring severe weather and snow to the Central states late this week hammered the Northwest with heavy rain and high winds this past weekend.

quote:Massive Halloween storm threatens Texas to Midwest, Northeast
AccuWeather is reporting a massive Halloween storm will unleash torrential rain, heavy thunderstorms and howling winds in a corridor from Texas to the Midwest and Northeast. The storm may force travelers and trick-or-treaters to delay or cancel their plans.
Heavy Thunderstorms and Flooding
Gusty, slow-moving thunderstorms will threaten areas from St. Louis to Memphis, Tenn., to Little Rock, Ark., and Houston late Thursday morning and into the afternoon. Locally damaging winds could bring down trees and power lines, and isolated tornadoes cannot be ruled out.
Upon encountering downed power lines, do not go near them or attempt to lift any downed tree limbs from them. Instead, think of all power lines as live and dangerous.
By Thursday night, any gusty thunderstorms should be in a corridor from Atlanta to Mobile, Ala., and New Orleans.
Flash flooding will accompany the damaging wind threat in the same regions. Thursday’s thunderstorms will be slow-moving and capable of unleashing several inches of rain in just a few hours. This rate of rainfall can turning low-lying areas into lakes and streams into raging rivers.
Residents in areas susceptible to flooding should get preparations ready for Thursday. Travelers to a Halloween party or a nearby neighborhood for trick-or-treating should be on the lookout for water-covered roadways. Never cross water-covered roadways and find another route.
Halloween Soaker
The massive storm will bring periods of rain across parts of the Upper Midwest to the Ohio Valley and Northeast for much of Halloween. Unlike farther south, this rain will largely just dampen spirits for those celebrating the holiday.
Chicago, Detroit, Pittsburgh and Burlington, Vt., will be among a host of other cities that will get the rain on Thursday. While thunderstorms cannot be ruled out, there will not be a widespread severe threat.
Howling Winds
Widespread gusty, southerly winds will howl along the Gulf Coast from Texas to the Florida Panhandle; similar winds will extend north into the Great Lakes as well. While most of the winds will not be damaging, the combination of a soaked ground and lingering leaves on trees could cause trees to topple.
