At the most intense points of the storms, wind gusts could be equivalent to even 137 km/h, with the ability to knock down branches and create other major risks.
They warn about the advance of these storms
The risk not only covers the Great Plains, but as it moves through the center of the country, rain and storms will continue to develop over other areas.
The most persistent rains could extend through the weekend to areas of the Central Plains, the Mississippi Valley and the Ohio Valley.
There will also be storms in the eastern part of the country
In addition, an increase in humidity from Florida and the northeastern Gulf Coast to the Appalachians and the East Coast could cause storms to become frequent in those areas.
