An extensive severe weather outbreak is expected to impact up to 50 million Americans this week.

People from northern Texas to southern Ohio could experience tornadoes, damaging winds, large hail, and storms that may persist into Tuesday affecting the Mid-Atlantic.

The greatest threat exists from central Oklahoma to western Indiana and Ohio.

Supercell storms may develop Monday afternoon.

The National Weather Service warned of potential large hail, tornadoes including strong ones, and damaging winds that could continue overnight.

The Storm Prediction Center said all forms of severe weather are possible.

“Severe thunderstorms are expected early this week as a strong early-Spring storm system develops and moves across the central and eastern U.S.,” the NWS stated.

“The areas most at risk Monday extend from central and eastern Oklahoma into far southeast Kansas, central Missouri, and southern Illinois,” the statement added.

The NWS added, “At least some risk of severe storms will extend from central Texas northeast into much of Illinois, Indiana, and southwest Ohio.”

With such a large area at risk, tens of millions are urged to closely monitor local forecasts.
