This week, nearly half the U.S. braces for severe thunderstorms, impacting 170 million people across 22 states. A significant risk for tornadoes and damaging winds is forecasted, particularly over northeastern Texas, northern Louisiana, and southern Arkansas. AccuWeather warns of wind gusts reaching 65-75 mph, leading to potential downed trees and power outages. Meteorologist Jonathan Porter highlights the dangers of nocturnal tornadoes, urging families to prepare for alerts. Travel disruptions are expected due to hazardous conditions, with hundreds of flight delays anticipated at major airports.
Families need to be prepared with several ways to receive severe weather alerts that can wake them up if they're asleep.
Tornadoes that strike after dark are extremely dangerous. Nocturnal tornadoes are statistically 2.5 times more deadly than tornadoes that strike during the day.
Wind gusts of 65 to 75 miles per hour are expected, which can bring down trees, damage buildings and trigger power outages.
Travel conditions could become hazardous due to thunderstorms and powerful wind gusts, particularly along the Interstate 20 and Interstate 30 corridors.
