Severe thunderstorms could bring damaging winds from Great Lakes to Northeast

On Sunday, severe thunderstorms could bring damaging winds from the Great Lakes to the Northeast, with a more widespread threat in the Heartland early in the week. On Sunday afternoon strong to severe storms are expected to flare up along a cold front that will sweep across the Great Lakes and into the Northeast. Most of the action looks to be later in the afternoon and into the evening hours.

From Ohio to Connecticut, including nearly all of Pennsylvania, the Storm Prediction Center is watching the chance for severe thunderstorms.

Damaging winds remains the biggest concern, but small to moderate hail and an isolated tornado or two are also possible.

On Monday, the severe weather threat really ramps up in the Plains. Cities like Oklahoma City and Wichita, Kansas, are looking at an enhanced risk for widespread severe weather, mainly on Monday evening and into the overnight hours.
