US Braces for Twin Threats: Storms and Snow!

Severe thunderstorms and possible tornadoes are poised to impact the southern and midwestern United States as a powerful storm system moves east. Forecasters from the National Weather Service (NWS) and the NWS Storm Prediction Center (SPC) warn of multiple rounds of strong storms through Tuesday afternoon and evening. These could produce damaging wind gusts, large hail, and potentially strong, fast-moving tornadoes. Atmospheric instability, fueled by warm, humid air near the ground and cooler air aloft, creates favorable conditions for rapid storm intensification.
