Severe weather alert for this weekend in the United States
One of the most important threats on both Saturday and Sunday will be strong winds and hail.
Winds could reach speeds close to 70 mph, which is equivalent to approximately 70 mph in the strongest systems. Experts also indicate that the formation of some tornadoes cannot be ruled out.
On the other hand, concern remains over the possibility of flash flooding. This could occur in areas where new rainfall is added to the rain that fell in recent days.
The advice is always to stay alert to weather updates in case there is any major change.
