Federal forecasters say a thunderous front of wind, lightning, hail and rain, with tornadoes possible, will sweep into the eastern third of the nation Tuesday afternoon and overnight into Wednesday.
over the weekend is gone, but another round of thunderstorms was aiming for nearly the same area Tuesday.
However, there's the added possibility that tornadoes as strong as EF-2, with sustained winds of 111 mph, could form as cold air from the north and warm, relatively wet air from the Gulf of Mexico clash explosively, forecasters said. The worst weather is likely to materialize along a vertical line from Des Moines, Iowa, to Little Rock, Arkansas, the National Weather Service said.
The largest city near the most intense weather predicted is St. Louis, where thunderstorms and even some tornado activity aren't unusual through May. But this time the region is being hammered.
