00:00 We're gonna be watching these storms rumble east into the upper Mississippi
00:03 Valley through the evening and tonight and re we pick this storyline up then
00:07 tomorrow a little farther east into the Ohio Valley. Yes, unfortunately we get
00:11 to do it all over again when it comes to the storm starting to fire off
00:15 across parts of the nation. This time we are tracking storms anywhere from the
00:20 Great Lakes, even the upper Midwest coming down through the southeast as
00:25 well. Some of those storms could turn locally severe with drenching rain and
00:30 gusty winds going to be one of our top concerns. So pretty humid though and
00:34 well sticky in the southeast. Watch what happens though with this storm. You'll
00:39 start to see that core of the upper level low. You see this big bowling ball
00:42 right? That's where the upper level low is going to be anchored and that's going
00:47 to be centered right there across southern Canada in the upper Midwest.
00:51 What happens when you are right under an area of low pressure like this? Well we
00:57 are concerned about hail and drenching downpours anywhere across southern
01:03 Canada, Thunder Bay, Duluth, all the way down through Madison with sudden
01:07 downpours on tap even as we do head into Wednesday evening. Now it's not the only
01:12 area that we're concerned about further east along that line that was also
01:17 screaming lots of upper-level energy. That's going to extend anywhere from
01:22 Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Nashville, even through Shreveport Wednesday into
01:25 Wednesday night. Hail, flooding downpours and well don't forget about those winds.
01:30 They can pack some damage. Gusting anywhere between 50 to 60 miles per hour
01:35 accurate local storm at 75 miles per hour. Now I do want to pick this up where
01:40 Jeff did leave off starting us off for our Wednesday. It's gonna be a little bit
01:46 of a rough commute there anywhere from Indianapolis down through southern
01:50 Illinois where we are tracking some drenching downpours and well look at
01:55 this nasty line how it's setting up. I'm not gonna be surprised if we do have a
01:59 few gusty wind reports there as well so heads up if you're gonna be out and
02:04 about early on your commute. Those storms barrel east they spread across
02:08 the Ohio Valley and while you're starting to see those screaming colors
02:12 there right when you get into the Reds we're talking some downpours and
02:16 unfortunately some of these storms could produce hail. Now another area of concern
02:22 as we head into Wednesday evening even Thursday, Mississippi, Alabama those
02:27 storms start to congeal together forming that line that starts to bow out. Gust
02:31 winds are going to be a high concern so heads up in that region as well before a
02:36 lot of that rain does shift further east. Not completely out of the picture even
02:40 as we head into Thursday Friday as that storm does continue to advance.
