More than 70 million people are currently facing a severe weather threat as intense tornadoes, baseball-sized hail, and near-hurricane-force winds sweep through the Central Plains and parts of the Midwest. The areas of concern primarily include parts of Oklahoma and Kansas, where the risk of severe weather outbreak is most significant.
The moderate risk level of four out of five indicates the potential for intense tornadoes, large hail, and damaging winds in these regions. The risk extends into the deep south, encompassing cities like Atlanta and Savannah, as well as a cluster in the northeast.
