A strong cold front is making it's way across the Plains today, and with it, it will being strong thunderstorms and even the chance for Tornadoes. We should miss most of the worst part of it due to cooler tempuratures, however, strong to severe storms are still possible overnight.
Storms are likely throughout the overnight, and will bring with them the potential for strong winds, heavy rain, and hail.
So, what is the reason for all of these storms at this time in the year? Well, we have a perfect set up with the dynamics, and with a strong cold front clashing with a lot of warm, humid air, you end up with quite a bit of instability. As you head into Michigan, the storms are expected to be less severe due to cooler tempertures, but as stated above, anything is possible so I would try to keep yourself posted through the overnight.
The worst places hit with this system will be back to our south and west. Tornado watches and Severe T-Storm watches are posted across numerous states, with the strongest storms currently being in Iowa, Kansas, and Missouri, pushing north and eastward.
As the front moves by, temps will drop over the next several days, but will warm up by the weekend. More updates to come tomorrow.
