A series of storms has moved from North and South Dakota through Minnesota and Iowa and even Illinois and has been demolishing trees, damaging buildings and demolishing electric lines.
More than 170,000 clients do not have energy in South Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa and Wisconsin until Tuesday morning.
Wind bursts have been reported stronger than 90 mph in Spence Illinois.
Meanwhile, a frontal limit in the west will continue to interact and feed on the strong heat dome on the south, creating severe electric storms capable of damaging the wind and sudden floods throughout the day and tonight from Montana to Iowa.
The storm line can continue to increase east towards Wednesday and until Wednesday and the storms are expected to begin on Tuesday afternoon in southern Montana, Wyoming, western Nebraska, East Colorado and Northwest of Kansas.
Then, the storms will push through South Dakota and the entire duration of the state of Nebraska during the night, arriving in Iowa at midnight and near the Illinois border at 7 am on Wednesday, potentially bringing storms to the Chicago area on Wednesday afternoon.
In other places, in the northeast, showers and thunderstorms are possible from Wednesday to Friday, with some storms that bring harmful winds and sudden floods.
This occurs when the heat dome continues to be eroded south, cooling the area from the high heat but angry the atmosphere in the process.
As often happens in extreme heat times, air quality along the I-95 corridor is due to unhealthy levels for sensitive groups, and much of this is due to the contamination of emissions caused by humans.
In addition to the already degraded air quality is the smoke of Canada’s forest fires, since a new smoke plume can create an additional mist to the sky on Tuesday afternoon and continue until Wednesday.

The heat dome that focuses on the south will erode slowly this week, every day it cools from the north to the south, but those that are still under heat must remain vigilant to extreme heat.
More than 165 million Americans are on alert for the dangerous heat and moisture from Nebraska to New Hampshire and Florida.
Extreme heat warnings also exist from New Orleans to St. Louis with heat rates to 116 possible.
Florida can also experience some of the highest heat index today, with temperatures that feel 116 possible degrees for places like Jacksonville and Orlando.
In the northeast, heat notices are in place from Pennsylvania to Maine, since heat rates could reach between 95 and 105 degrees.
The rest of the area under heat warnings throughout the west and south could reach heat rates between 100 and 110 today.
For the weekend, the extreme heat must be kidnapped to the Gulf and southwest coast, with much of the rest of the country in the summer heat of the season or potentially below the average.
