A new, small storm will race eastward from the Midwest to the northeastern United States on Sunday. Still, what the storm lacks in size it will pack a punch in terms of dumping more rain during the second half of the weekend and, more significantly, will set off severe thunderstorms in some locations, AccuWeather meteorologists...
A small but potent storm will trigger a narrow zone of heavy, gusty and severe thunderstorms along several states stretching from the Midwest to the mid-Atlantic region on Sunday.AccuWeather’s Bill Wadell has a look at the flooding and impacts from severe storms that rolled through Ohio, West Virginia and Pennsylvania on April 11.
The storm will scoot along the northern edge of a zone of building warmth over the central U.S. The setup tends to bring a narrow zone of showers, thunderstorms and severe weather in a northwest-to-southeast fashion or, in this case, a more west-to-east band. The greatest threats will be from severe thunderstorms packing strong wind gusts of 50-60 mph with an AccuWeather Local StormMax™ gust of 70 mph, which is just under hurricane force . Some of the strongest storms may also produce hail to the size of golf balls, which can damage vehicles.
At the very least, some downpours will survive to the upper mid-Atlantic coast and into southern New England on Sunday night, which could hamper travel for the trip home from weekend ventures.
