After a rather active Tuesday, severe storms will again fire up on Wednesday, this time targeting Missouri to Ohio.
An intense cluster of thunderstorms will move from the Missouri Valley into the Ohio Valley. This occurrence is known as a derecho. Due to ferocious wind and torrential rain, derechos can also be referred to as inland hurricanes.
The main threats accompanying the severe thunderstorms will be flooding downpours, damaging winds, large hail and isolated tornadoes.
Increased power outages are also possible across the region. Thousands of electric customers in the Plains and Midwest lost power Tuesday night into Wednesday as a result of the storms.
