"TUESDAY June X could feature more widespread severe weather across the Central States. That means the Great Lakes Upper Midwest Corn Belt and Plains. all the way south to Texas. The setup is actually rather basic a cold front will be moving east into a warm humid juiced-up air mass. Ample warmth/moisture ahead of the front will provide instability or thunderstorm fuel. I anticipate widespread strong to severe storms. Damaging straight-line winds gusting around XX mph will be the main hazard within storms. Some quarter-sized hail is possible in the strongest cores too. I'm also keeping a bit"
