Tornado threat prompts highest US severe storm threat

The rising threat of notably strong tornadoes has prompted the highest severe thunderstorm risk in months to be issued in parts of the Midwest. It's all part of a more widespread potential outbreak of powerful storms across the Central US on Tuesday as a new storm system develops and strengthens over the region. A Level 4 of 5 risk of severe thunderstorms is in place for more than 2 million people in northern Illinois and northwest Indiana, including Peoria and Bloomington, Illinois.
