Danger Looms: Another Round of Severe Storms Could Strike Tonight

Mother Nature isn’t done yet—another wave of severe thunderstorms may wreak havoc tonight, bringing damaging winds, hail, and possible tornadoes. Here’s what you need to know to stay safe.

What to Expect Tonight

Meteorologists warn that unstable atmospheric conditions could fuel scattered severe storms, with the highest risk between sunset and midnight. Key threats include:

• Damaging Winds: Gusts exceeding 60 mph could topple trees and power lines.
• Large Hail: Golf ball-sized hailstones may shatter windows and damage vehicles.
• Brief Tornadoes: Isolated twisters can’t be ruled out, particularly in rural areas.

Areas Most at Risk

While the entire region should stay alert, the highest likelihood of severe weather includes:

1. Northern counties along the frontal boundary
2. Low-lying areas prone to flash flooding
3. Communities still recovering from last week’s storms

How to Prepare

Don’t wait until the skies darken—take action now:

• Charge phones and backup batteries.
• Secure outdoor furniture and loose objects.
• Identify your safest shelter area (basement or interior room).

What Do You Think?

• Are local officials doing enough to warn residents about severe weather?
• Should cities invest more in storm-resistant infrastructure?
• Is climate change making these storms more frequent—or just more hyped?
