As the Midwest braces for a potential outbreak of severe weather on Friday, new models used by the NBC 5 Storm Team illustrate the threat for tornadic activities within the storms.
According to the Storm Prediction Center, the NBC 5 viewing area, along with most of Illinois and parts of western Indiana, are at an “enhanced risk” of severe weather on Friday, the third of five categories included in the SPC’s scale.
Parts of northwestern Illinois and eastern Iowa are at a “moderate risk,” which is the fourth of the five categories and illustrates that there is a significant chance of severe weather occurring in the area. According to SPC alerts, “intense and widespread” severe thunderstorms are expected to develop Friday afternoon, and will sprint across Illinois in the early evening.Sign up for NBC Chicago newsletters.
Those storms could move rapidly to the east at 60-to-70 miles per hour, bringing with it damaging winds and the possibility for tornadoes. Models used by the NBC 5 Storm Team illustrate the latter threat, with “rotation tracker” software showing the possibility of rotation developing within storm cells as they race across the area.
