Tornado threat reloads over Chicago, Des Moines, as severe weather expands from Texas to New York

Parts of the Midwest and the Plains are once again in the bull's-eye of an expansive severe weather threat that covers more than 130 million people from Texas to New York. This comes after severe storms on Monday dropped damaging tornadoes and hail across Minnesota, Wisconsin and Kansas. There's an increased risk of tornadoes Tuesday spanning a corridor from eastern Iowa into southern Wisconsin and northern Illinois, including Milwaukee and Chicago. A second round of severe thunderstorms will ignite from Texas to New York on Wednesday, with the flood threat mounting for parts of the Midwest and Great Lakes which have seen several consecutive days of heavy rain.
