On May 27, the Storm Prediction Center has issued warnings for severe thunderstorms across various regions of the United States, with a focus on the Mid-Atlantic, West Texas, and the western Great Lakes. Damaging winds reaching up to 65 mph are anticipated, particularly from the Ohio Valley into the central Appalachians, potentially causing downed tree limbs and power outages. The storms may also produce isolated hail, roughly one inch in diameter. In southern Idaho and eastern Oregon, thunderstorms could generate wind gusts between 60-75 mph. Looking ahead to Thursday, the Pacific Northwest and northern Rockies are under a Marginal Risk for severe storms, as an upper-level low pressure system is expected to enhance storm development. This follows a recent active storm pattern in Texas, including overnight thunderstorms along the Gulf Coast.
