Severe Weather Risks Expand into Gulf Coast and Beyond

The storms that are rattling the central Plains to start the new work week are forecast to expand their wrath into the Gulf Coast and mid-Atlantic by Wednesday.

Forecasters are predicting that over 125 million Americans will be in the target zone by the middle of the week. Here is the latest on what the forecast models are predicting.

Threat of Severe Weather Will Push to the South and the East by Middle of the Week

The week started on a volatile note for the central U.S. with severe weather popping up all over the Plains states. The storms are predicted to inch into the valleys of the Mississippi, Ohio, and Tennessee rivers by the middle of the week and eventually extend into the Gulf Coast region and beyond.

The greatest chance of severe weather this week for places such as Cincinnati will be on Tuesday when scattered storms in the morning will become more widespread in the latter part of the day.
