Severe weather threatens possibly 63 million

After a few quiet, pleasant days, our weather will be taking a more active turn in the second half of the week. As the low pressure center moves into the region, combined with a warm front, there appears to be enough shear in the atmosphere for rotating storms supercell storms.

Bottom Line: Timing of this system will as always play a role on the severe threat but the severe weather looks to start in the morning which is atypical of what we normally see here in northeast Kansas anytime of the year. The other ingredients for severe storms will be present, so sunshine-or-no-sunshine will be the factor we watch most closely.

Forecasters are warning 63 million people in the central U.S.to have an eye out for bad weather this week.

November isn’t typically a month to associate with severe weather like tornadoes or tropical storms, but here we are in the second week of the month and we’re looking at both.

You may want to stay inside Wednesday.

Once the thunderstorm threat passes Wednesday evening, a steadier rain will fall Wednesday night.

The First Alert weather team is tracking a potent storm system that will move across Missouri and Illinois later Wednesday into Wednesday night. Because of the high winds predicted in this storm, it could cause damage. While they may relax somewhat Thursday afternoon, they’ll pick back up again on Friday.
