Tuesday, March 10 could be a devastating day for severe weather in the central United States.
"Severe thunderstorms are forecast today [March 10] from the southern Plains into the southern Great Lakes vicinity," the Storm Prediction Center said in an online forecast. "All severe hazards are possible, including the risk for a few strong to intense tornadoes and very large hail."
Large metro areas, including Chicago, Dallas, St. Louis, Oklahoma City, Indianapolis and Kansas City, Missouri, could all be impacted by the severe thunderstorms, according to AccuWeather. In all, nearly 80 million people are at risk from some form of severe weather on Tuesday, the Storm Prediction Center said.
The storms come just days after deadly tornadoes ripped across the central U.S., killing eight people in Oklahoma and Michigan.
"This could be the largest outbreak of severe weather so far this year," said AccuWeather senior meteorologist Adam Douty.
