Brandon Buckingham Predicts Widespread Thunderstorms and Damaging Winds Across the Northern Corridor Starting Sunday Evening

Brandon Buckingham, an Accuweather meteorologist, reports that a widespread system of thunderstorms will begin impacting the nation’s northern corridor starting Sunday evening. The system is expected to develop into a barrage of storms featuring heavy rain, lightning, and damaging wind gusts up to 85 miles per hour. These storms will primarily affect the Great Lakes and Ohio Valley regions, fueled by heat and humidity. Forecasters indicate that the weather system will move southeast, potentially causing power outages and felled tree limbs. While the storms are fast-moving, the greatest risk of severe weather remains concentrated in the Great Lakes region. The system will eventually continue into the Northeast and mid-Atlantic regions, impacting travel along the Interstate 95 corridor. Following the storm system, temperatures are expected to remain high across the central and southern United States, with heat indices potentially exceeding 105 degrees in some areas. The weather service notes that while specific storm locations are difficult to pin down until shortly before they form, residents should prepare for gusty downpours and flash flooding.
