A potent weather system is making its way across the U.S., bringing a widespread severe weather threat to end the workweek.
Thursday’s risk of severe weather will be isolated and limited to the Plains, but Friday’s threat looks to expand to a good portion of the central U.S. The South, Plains and Midwest are under the threat of severe storms Friday, with damaging winds, tornadoes and large hail all possible.
Winter certainly doesn’t appear to be over for parts of the northern Plains and Upper Midwest as snow will be possible through Saturday. The same system bringing severe weather will also bring moderate snowfall accumulations from the Dakotas through Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan.
The active weather pattern will also bring critical fire conditions to parts of the Plains Thursday and Friday. High winds and dry conditions have prompted the National Weather Service to issue Fire Weather Watches and Warnings through the end of the month.
