Severe storms threaten Midwest, South this weekend

Two separate rounds of severe weather, including the threat of tornadoes, will keep truckers on their toes this weekend in the Midwest and South. Some of the strongest and most damaging storms could develop after dark, making them all the more dangerous.

Thunderstorms will have far-reaching effects with the potential for locally heavy rain and gusty winds as far north as the Canada border and along the Eastern Seaboard by early next week.

Two storm systems will act as the triggers for severe...

Winter severe storm threat for truckers in South

Late-winter severe storms could spread across the South the next two days as a strong cold front approaches the region.

The front will drench parts of the Plains and Midwest before the rain changes to snow, sleet and freezing rain in those regions. The atmosphere over the South will remain unstable, moist and unseasonably warm at ground level. However, aloft the atmosphere will be very cold. This is a good setup for severe weather.

Truckers are likely to hit scattered areas of gusty straight-line...
