quote:Building warmth and the arrival of more humid air has opened the door for dangerous thunderstorms stretching from the Mississippi Valley to the Atlantic Seaboard this week.
Among the usual risks from the storms, ranging from lightning strikes to blinding downpours, is potential for large hail, damaging wind gusts and even tornadoes in the strongest storms.
Over the four-day period, storms will affect much of the eastern half of the nation.
The severe thunderstorm threat into tonight will stretch from eastern Kansas and Nebraska to southern Wisconsin and northern Illinois. Storms will fire along and ahead of a northward-advancing warm front. Kansas City is one of several major metropolitan areas at risk for damaging thunderstorms.
A cold front will be the trigger for nasty thunderstorms Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
The threat Tuesday will stretch from north-central Texas to southern Wisconsin.
During Wednesday, the severe thunderstorm risk area will advance farther to the east, stretching from the upper Texas coast and much of Louisiana to eastern Illinois, much of Indiana, and southern Lower Michigan.
quote:Severe storms are expected to develop from central Kansas to northwestern Texas on Thursday and push east into areas from eastern Kansas to northeastern Texas by Friday. The central and lower Mississippi Valley will be targeted on Saturday and the Tennessee Valley on Saturday night.
These storms will likely produce large and damaging hail, gusty winds and tornadoes. Flooding rain is possible across the lower and mid-Mississippi Valley on Saturday.
Expected Disruptions
Disruptions to travel are expected across the South over the next several days as the severe weather moves through.
Highway travel will be affected most as debris, downed trees and power lines could make driving a nightmare in some spots.
Interstate 40 from Oklahoma City to Nashville could be most affected over the next several days, while all other highways in the region could be prone to delays and detours.
Meanwhile, flights into and out of the region's airports will also face delays as this line of storms moves east.

quote:The stage is set for a major outbreak of potentially life-threatening and destructive thunderstorms over Texas and the southern Plains this afternoon through Friday.
The situation now through Saturday represents the greatest severe thunderstorm and tornado threat for 2010 this far.

quote:A tornado almost a mile wide tore through Mississippi on Saturday, killing at least 10 people and causing significant injuries and damage as it raked cities from the central western border with Louisiana northeastward to Alabama.
Two of the dead were children and one was a 3-month-old baby, according to Mississippi Emergency Management Agency (MEMA) spokesman Jeff Rent.
The death toll is expected to rise as rescue crews reach hard-hit areas where structures have been badly damaged, said another MEMA spokesman, Greg Flynn.

Klopt ja, meer dan een mijl breed. Op www.tornadovideos.net een mooie footage. Flinke schade zeg... Ook 10 doden, niet best.
quote:But there is a silver lining: Without the warnings, Saturday's tornado death toll would likely have been in the hundreds. There were 55 tornadoes in seven states, including one that caused considerable damage in the St. Louis area. Each of these had the potential to cause death or injury.
