A new round of storms threatens several regions of the United States. As a result of an active atmospheric pattern, the severe weather that dominated during June will continue over the next few days, including the weekend.
Forecasts indicate that the Great Plains will be one of the most affected regions, although intense storms are also expected in parts of the East and the South of the country.

According to AccuWeather projections, during today’s period, the risk of severe storms will extend from central Montana, eastern Idaho, and northern Utah to southwestern Illinois, Missouri, and northern Arkansas.
The main dangers are

For Friday, the area of storms will extend from central and eastern Montana to eastern New Mexico and western Texas, with possible 65-mph winds.
