Severe storms recharge across the Northern Plains as Gulf moisture fuels Central US flood threat

Severe storms are targeting millions of people across parts of the Northern Plains and Central U.S. for the third consecutive day. A Level 2 out of 5 risk of severe thunderstorms covers parts of southeastern Montana, northeastern Wyoming, much of South Dakota, as well as northern Nebraska and eastern Minnesota beginning Thursday. Large hail and damaging wind gusts are expected to be the primary hazards. A broad Level 1 out of 4 flash flood threat stretches from West Texas to southern Minnesota as storms tap into widespread Gulf moisture across the the middle of the country.
