100 Million Americans at Risk of Unusual Severe Weather

While the U.S. may be used to hearing the phrase 'severe weather' after a particularly busy and stormy summer, forecasters are warning of unpredictable weather patterns that will affect parts of the central and Eastern U.S. this weekend.

Unusually Active Pattern

The Eastern two-thirds of the U.S. are set to experience unusually active severe weather for August. Almost 100 million residents should be prepared for strong thunderstorms and heavy downpours every one to two days for the rest of the week and into the weekend.

As the end of the summer is quickly approaching, this active weather pattern can be frustrating for children, parents, and families who want to enjoy their end of the summer barbeques or their last few days playing outside before heading back to school.

There are two main storm systems that will produce the severe weather, and some areas should be prepared to be hit more than once with heavy rain and winds.
