Severe storms are expected to hit the Midwest and South regions of the United States on Sunday (March 30), according to the National Weather Service.
Up to 73 million people in the Mississippi, Ohio and Tennessee Valleys face warnings for thunderstorms, large hail, wind gusts and tornadoes as the same storm system had already affected parts of the Midwest and South throughout the weekend. More than 50 preliminary damage wind and hail reports were already made across the Great Plains on Saturday (March 29), which included 3-inch hail reported in Amber, Oklahoma, according to NBC News.
The National Weather Service’s Storm Prediction Center warned that the region between Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas, as well as Detroit, Indianapolis, Memphis, Nashville, Chicago, Dallas and Cleveland were all considered to be risk areas during its update Sunday morning.
“Very large hail, significant damaging winds (especially into the evening hours), and tornadoes, a few of which could be strong, can all be expected,” the agency said, adding that “heavy downpours” were expected as storms grew into an “organized line into the evening hours,” which could lead to the risk of scattered flash flooding.
Storms in the Midwest were expected to begin as early as 1:00 p.m. on Sunday and expected to continue past midnight from the Ohio and Tennessee valleys. The severe storms are expected to continue and move east on Monday (March 31), with 68 million people in the Southeast and mid-Atlantic expected to be affected.
