For some, there will be good news, as a cold front slicing through the Midwest will break up the heat and humidity - at least temporarily. This front, however, will pack a cruel twist, in that it will bring the potential for severe storms with it from the western and central Great Lakes back into Iowa. Damaging wind gusts will be the main threat to be on alert for; however, some storms will also have the capability of producing hail.

Midwest

Violent thunderstorms erupted in southern Minnesota Wednesday morning then raced off to the southeast toward northwestern Illinois. Once reaching Illinois the thunderstorms took a right turn and went south through western parts of the state. During the evening the storms turned again, this time to the southwest and took aim on St. Louis. Another round of severe thunderstorms is expected overnight tonight. At highest risk are southeastern Minnesota, northern Iowa, southern Wisconsin and far northern Illinois. Besides the threat of twisters, powerful winds, large hail and locally excessive downpours#up to five inches#are likely.

July 17-19, 2006 Forecast:

This potent weather system then continues toward the east over the Mid-Atlantic region and New England.

Results

The oppressive heat in parts of the Northeast will be eased a bit, but at a cost. A cold front coming down from Canada Tuesday will collide with the hot, humid air mass over the region. As this happens, the atmosphere will become unstable, and towering thunderstorm clouds will begin to build. A line of storms will march toward the East Coast during the day, but will likely not reach the big cities until later in the day or at night. The main threat with these storms will be from damaging winds and frequent lightning, but large hail and heavy downpours are also expected.
