The same storm system that began producing severe weather and torrential rain in the southern United States Monday will pivot northeastward and is poised to set off severe thunderstorms from the mid-Atlantic coast to the Midwest Thursday, AccuWeather meteorologists warn.
Torrential downpours that may trigger flash flooding, along with powerful wind gusts and hail will whip through portions of the Midwest and Northeast on Thursday. A few tornadoes cannot be ruled out.Extreme meteorologist Dr. Reed Timmer gives details about the high risk for severe weather and flooding in the South on April 9.
In addition to torrential downpours that may trigger flash flooding, the main threats in both areas will be powerful wind gusts and hail. The AccuWeather Local StormMax™ wind gust is above the minimum hurricane threshold of 74 mph in the mid-Atlantic and Midwest zones. The StormMax for the Midwest storms is 80 mph.
The severe weather in the Midwest will erupt near the center of the storm system, while the gusty storms in the mid-Atlantic will fire up along a cold front that will pivot northeastward from the Carolinas to Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York. Along with the likelihood of heavy to severe thunderstorms in the Midwest and Northeast, a period of strong winds from the south and southeast will play on near-shore Atlantic Ocean waters.
