ORIGINAL POST PERTAINING TO TUESDAY (after sunrise):

from the Mississippi River to the Appalachians. There is also a risk of tornadoes, especially to the south of the Ohio River. The red hatched area could see thunderstorm wind gusts of 70 mph or higher.

These thunderstorms, along with the high winds in the Great Lakes, may cause power outages. Be prepared. AccuWeather is monitoring the situation. Please check there for updates.
