UNITED STATES - As I follow the weather reports, including a recent report from AccuWeather, it’s clear that the air feels charged, hinting at the weather on the horizon. Over the weekend, at least 100 million people could experience significant weather as a complex storm system rolls through. From late Saturday to early Monday, severe thunderstorms are expected to sweep across dozens of states, with winds strong enough to rattle windows and possibly even uproot trees.

The storms are set to kick off in the Mississippi Valley this weekend, before making their way toward the Atlantic coast by early next week. It’s worth noting that while this weather pattern may not be as intense as some recent events, like those busy days with over 1,900 reports of severe weather, there’s still potential for the systems to develop.

On Thursday, pockets of heavy thunderstorms could pop up, particularly stretching from northeastern Kansas to southwestern Indiana. Here, the primary concerns will be gusty winds and hail, potentially coupled with sudden downpours that could lead to localized flooding.

Looking to Friday, southern and central Texas could face a similar scenario, with the risk of severe storms becoming more widespread by Saturday. Major cities like Kansas City, Oklahoma City, and Tulsa are bracing for hail and high winds. The possibility of tornadoes adds an extra layer of intensity to the forecast, although the exact details remain uncertain.

Moving into Sunday, the storm's reach broadens significantly, affecting areas from the Ohio Valley down to the Gulf Coast. Cities like Atlanta and Charlotte could feel the impact on Monday, with threats from high winds and flash flooding. While tornadoes are less likely, the potential for severe thunderstorms remains a topic of discussion as we approach this dynamic weather pattern.
