Intense severe weather targets more than 50 million from Texas to Wisconsin

Dangerous severe weather is expected to develop across the Central U.S. early Friday afternoon. Supercell thunderstorms capable of producing strong (EF-3) tornadoes could form across parts of  Wisconsin, Minnesota, and northeast Iowa. Supercells are also possible from Kansas City into northern Oklahoma through the afternoon hours. These storms could also generate "monster" hail — hailstones greater than 3 inches in diameter. Damaging wind gusts of 75 mph or greater will become the main hazard by Friday evening across the Plains and the Midwest.
