Breakfast brief: Storm threat S. Plains to Ohio Valley

Strong to severe storms are possible from the southern Plains into the lower Ohio Valley. As low pressure moves into Canada, there will be a few lingering snow showers across the northern Plains and upper Mid-West.

As a surface front moves east, scattered showers and storms are expected to develop along the boundary. Severe storms are possible from Texas into the Ohio Valley. All types of severe weather are possible, with the greatest risk in southeastern Missouri, northwestern Tennessee, western Kentucky, and southern Illinois. Damaging winds, hail, and tornadoes are possible.

The WeatherRadar shows a few lingering snow showers across the northern Plains and northern Minnesota as the low pressure exits into Canada.
