Some of the nation’s largest Northeast and mid-Atlantic cities are facing the threat of severe weather Wednesday. The worst storms are expected in a swath that stretches from New York to Kentucky. Cities such as New York, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Baltimore and Washington are included in the zone. The primary threat with any severe storms will be damaging winds, but hail and even tornadoes are possible.

A major disaster has been declared in Iowa as the Midwest continues to deal with historic flooding that has killed at least two people. Levee breaks, dam failures and bridge collapses are just some of the impacts that have displaced dozens of people across the region.

A tropical disturbance in the Atlantic Ocean, designated Invest 94L, is being tracked, as well as another disturbance much farther out in the ocean. Saharan dust is keeping a lid on most of the tropics right now.
