Midwest Braces for Severe Storms and Tornado Threat

A Tornado Watch has been issued for parts of the Midwest, including Kansas City, as severe storms threaten the region with very large hail, destructive wind gusts, and a few tornadoes. The storms are expected to continue into the overnight hours, with Iowa seeing its first widespread severe weather threat for 2024. The severe weather ingredients are lining up to produce the greatest chance of supercells capable of spawning tornadoes, and the threat will shift to the southern Great Lakes and the Ohio Valley on Wednesday.
