Sept 15, 2006- The Weather Channel
A giant early season storm with hints of the winter to come will take control of the north-central U.S. this weekend. A strong cold front will kick off this fast-forward to late fall as it plows eastward from the Plains to the Appalachians over the next 3 days.

Severe thunderstorms with hail, damaging winds and a few tornadoes will develop Saturday from the eastern Dakotas, Minnesota and western Wisconsin to eastern Kansas and Missouri. Some severe thunderstorms will continue across Illinois and Missouri on Sunday. As the front reaches Michigan and the Ohio Valley Monday, the thunderstorms will shift eastward across the remainder of the Midwest.

While strong warm southerly winds have gusted in advance of the front, equally strong northerly and northwesterly winds will further enhance the cold over the Plains and Midwest once the front moves through.
