A major outbreak of severe weather unfolding across the central Plains Tuesday afternoon is expected to continue late into the night.
An intense cluster of thunderstorms is expected to move through Nebraska to Iowa, northeastern Kansas, northern Missouri, and western Illinois in the overnight hours. This occurrence is known as a derecho. Due to ferocious wind and torrential rain, derechos can also be referred to as inland hurricanes.
The main threats accompanying the severe thunderstorms will be flooding downpours, damaging winds, large hail and isolated tornadoes.
