A significant cold front is moving eastward, threatening severe weather for over 112 million people across a 2,000-mile corridor from Texas to New England. The front has already caused tornadoes and wind gusts exceeding 90 mph in Nebraska and Kansas, prompting a Tornado Emergency in Pawnee County. As of early Tuesday, 24,000 customers in Kansas and Missouri remained without power due to the storms. On Tuesday, Texas will experience large hail, with stones potentially reaching 2 inches in diameter. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Storm Prediction Center has issued a Level 2 out of 5 risk for severe thunderstorms from Texas to northern Vermont, with expectations of quarter-sized hail and damaging winds across the eastern Great Lakes and Ohio and Tennessee valleys. As the cold front reaches the Northeast by Wednesday, it will break the ongoing heat wave, bringing thunderstorms capable of strong winds and large hail along the Interstate 95 corridor from Boston to Richmond, Virginia. Following the storms, temperatures in the Northeast are projected to fall into the 60s through Memorial Day weekend.
