Following what will be a busy evening for severe weather Tuesday, another round of potent thunderstorms will pivot through the storm-weary Great Plains of the United States from Wednesday to Thursday. AccuWeather meteorologists continue to warn there is the likelihood of multiple tornadoes, as well as many incidents of strong wind gusts, large hail and flash flooding.

Residents, officials and first responders dealing with cleanup in the wake of deadly tornadoes over the weekend are bracing for yet another round of severe weather that includes more tornadoes in what has become a very busy storm zone of the Great Plains and part of the Mississippi Valley over the past week.

Even though the severe weather rounds this week will not be as intense as the period from Friday to Saturday, there are still significant risks to lives and property.

The second storm system of the week will trigger a 900-mile-long swath of severe thunderstorms from Nebraska and Iowa southward to central and western Texas from Wednesday to Wednesday night.
