Beep, Beep, Beep. Weather alert!

"A potent storm that will track across the Plains and Great Lakes into midweek will interact with clashing warm Gulf air and cooler Pacific and Canadian air with plenty of moisture in place. This will set the stage for severe thunderstorms from Texas to the Ohio Valley Tuesday and Wednesday.

"This could be the largest outbreak of severe weather so far this year," said AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Adam Douty.

Individuals are urged to have multiple ways to receive warnings and to have a plan in place, as severe thunderstorms could continue into the night, including the potential for nocturnal tornadoes. Having a pair of closed-toe shoes, a flashlight and charged electronic devices nearby before going to sleep each night are some ways to be prepared ahead of the severe thunderstorm risk."

"Hazards, including hail, flash flooding and damaging wind gusts, are expected with any severe thunderstorm. There will also be the risk of tornadoes as well.

"The greatest tornado risk Tuesday afternoon and Tuesday night is expected to develop from Missouri to Indiana," said Douty.

The higher risk could reach close to Chicago or at least its southern suburbs in Illinois."
