A new round of thunderstorms is developing across parts of the Central Plains, Great Lakes and Ohio Valley today, with isolated to widely scattered severe storms possible. The National Weather Service says stronger storms could produce damaging winds, large hail and locally heavy rainfall.
Meanwhile, storms are expected to develop and strengthen as daytime heating increases. Some communities may see only brief showers, while others could experience much stronger thunderstorms.
Weather experts warn that conditions can change rapidly once storms form. Residents are being advised to monitor local warnings and have shelter available if a severe thunderstorm warning is issued.
Drivers are being advised to slow down during heavy rain and watch for sudden reductions in visibility.
