Severe storms are expected to disrupt travel across the South and Midwest this weekend, potentially affecting several major cities during the final days of March.
Travelers heading to or through the impacted areas should prepare for possible delays, cancellations, and hazardous conditions from Saturday night through Monday.
The National Weather Service and NOAA’s Storm Prediction Center (SPC) have issued alerts for a broad region, stretching from the Mississippi and Ohio Valleys to the Southeast and mid-Atlantic. The storm system is expected to bring damaging winds, large hail, and the potential for tornadoes.
While isolated severe storms may begin in parts of the Midwest on Saturday evening, the main event is forecast to hit on Sunday and Monday, bringing widespread risks to dozens of cities. This marks the third consecutive weekend of significant springtime storms in the eastern U.S., following a deadly tornado outbreak earlier this month.
