Dangerous overnight severe storms expected in Midwest, South

Strong storms, likely including tornadoes, are expected to hit parts of the Midwest and South beginning Tuesday evening and stretching overnight. That has prompted officials to warn people — many coping with damage inflicted by deadly weather last week — to set up shelter before going to bed. Those storms Friday spawned tornadoes in 11 states in the South, Midwest and Northeast. Forecasters say more severe weather is likely Tuesday afternoon and evening across parts of northeastern Missouri into southeastern Iowa and west central Illinois — and on Wednesday in eastern Illinois, lower Michigan and parts of the Ohio Valley. The fire danger remains high across portions of Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico and Colorado.
