A powerful storm system is threatening to bring tornadoes and damaging winds to portions of the Midwest on Sunday.
The National Weather Service's Storm Prediction Center has issued a "high risk" of severe weather for eastern Illinois, Indiana, western Ohio and far southwest lower Michigan for Sunday, with conditions favorable for a tornado outbreak and widespread damaging winds.
The Weather Channel's Greg Forbes has issued TOR:CON tornado warning values as high as 7 for parts of Illinois and Indiana, meaning there is a 70% chance of a tornado within 50 miles of a location in that region.
The Weather Channel says major cities including Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, Indianapolis, Cincinnati, Nashville, and Louisville, Ky., are at the highest risk for severe weather.
The storms are expected to diminish in intensity Sunday night into Monday, but strong wind gusts will remain possible for parts of New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland and New Jersey, according to the Weather Channel.
