Severe storms brewing: Dangerous winds and large hail target the Plains and Midwest

Rounds of severe weather are taking aim at Central U.S. beginning on Thursday and lasting through Tuesday. A level 2 out of 5 severe threat is in place through Saturday, with a level 3 in place for some areas beginning Sunday. Damaging hail, strong wind gusts and a possible tornado or two are likely as the multi-day event proceeds.

As the stagnant Omega block weather pattern wanes, the chance for new severe storm development is taking shape across the Great Plains and Midwestern U.S. through the weekend.

After days of heat across the Central U.S., the high pressure system caught in the middle will now start to flatten, allowing a series of storm systems to pour into the Plains.

Storm-Weary Plains, Midwest To See More Severe Weather

The storm-weary Plains and Midwest are looking at the potential for more severe weather this weekend into early next week. Damaging wind gusts, large hail, tornadoes and heavy rain will all be possible each day. Cities like Wichita, Omaha, Des Moines and Kansas City could see severe storms for multiple days.

Severe weather threat builds through the weekend and into early next week

LINCOLN, Neb. (KOLN) – A severe weather threat is developing across Nebraska as we head through the second half of the week and into the weekend and early next week, with Sunday emerging as the most significant threat for widespread, strong to severe storms.

While isolated storms are possible Thursday and Friday, the main event appears to be Sunday, when all modes of severe weather could occur — including large hail, damaging winds, tornadoes and flash flooding. As of Wednesday, a Weather Alert Day is likely for the day on Sunday.

Thursday brings extreme fire weather conditions to northeast Nebraska, with a Red Flag Warning in effect from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Strong southerly winds gusting 35 to 45 mph combined with very low humidity (20-30%) and dry vegetation create dangerous fire conditions. This is the primary concern for Thursday.

Rain could fall in Brisbane through the weekend and beyond, as a possible cyclone approaches the state’s north.

Showers are predicted in the south-east until Tuesday, with severe storms possible.

Damaging winds to sweep Tasmania on Saturday after heatwave

Tasmania is in for a battering on Saturday, with the Bureau of Meteorology warning damaging winds could gust up to 120km/h across much of the state.

A severe weather warning has been issued for large parts of Tasmania, including Hobart, as a low-pressure system barrels towards the island’s south-west.

The north-east and the Furneaux Islands are expected to be hit first, with damaging winds averaging 55 to 65km/h and gusts of around 100km/h forecast from mid-morning.

Hobart and surrounding areas could see gusts reach 100km/h from late morning, while elevated and exposed locations may cop even stronger conditions, with gusts up to 120km/h possible.
