Following destructive storms, including a significant tornado in Appleton, Wisconsin, the Great Lakes region experienced severe weather on Monday. Additional rounds of severe thunderstorms and flooding rainfall are forecast to impact several U.S. regions throughout the current week.
Through Tuesday night, the Mid-Atlantic, from North Carolina to Philadelphia, faces a threat of damaging wind gusts and flash flooding, with impacts most likely during the evening commute. Isolated tornadoes and hail are also possible. Simultaneously, severe thunderstorms may occur along the High Plains, stretching from North Dakota to Kansas, bringing localized damaging winds and flooding.
The severe threat shifts to the Southeast on Wednesday, with strong to severe thunderstorms expected to develop and expand southward. Damaging winds, flooding, and frequent lightning are anticipated, particularly impacting Georgia and Florida beaches. From Thursday into the weekend, a shifting heat dome over the central U.S. is expected to trigger more thunderstorms across the Plains states, with damaging winds and flooding downpours as primary hazards.
