Forecasters warn of an impending outbreak of long-lasting, strong tornadoes and once-in-a-lifetime flooding
74% Informative
Severe thunderstorms were already cutting through the Plains Wednesday morning ahead of the main threat later this afternoon and evening , which carried the highest possible risk level.
More than 20 million people from Louisiana to Ohio could be in the path of storms that produce strong tornadoes — rated at least EF2.
Storms in this area could produce multiple long-track tornadoes of EF3 strength or greater.
The greatest tornado threat will begin later in the afternoon and continue into Wednesday night .
Wednesday will also be the start of a multi-day, once-in-a-lifetime flooding event.
An entire spring’s worth of rain could fall in just four days in the hardest-hit locations.
Paducah , for example, averages about 14.5 inches of rain from March to May .
“If we get anywhere near these amounts, a historic flash flooding event is likely,” the National Weather Service says.
