Residents in the potentially affected areas should stay vigilant for weather updates.

In light of this situation, the public is urged to follow official recommendations and evacuate if necessary.

It appears that the ingredients are coming together for the storms to produce large hail, damaging wind gusts and possible tornadoes.

Changes in the forecast are expected as there are still days left before the potential severe weather event, according to Fox Weather.

As the week goes on, the focus shifts to preparation and vigilance, hoping that the storm dissipates without causing significant damage.

Similarly, winter weather alerts have been issued across the Northeast and the Great Lakes as a powerful storm system makes its way through the region.

This has prompted snowstorm warnings due to heavy snowfall drastically reducing visibility on some roads in western and central Pennsylvania.

Winter weather alerts have been extended throughout the region, spanning from Ohio to northern New England.

Winter storm advisories have been issued for cities such as Cleveland, Watertown in New York, and Montpelier in Vermont.
