More Storms
Following the storms that shook parts of the Midwest early Wednesday, Midwesterners may be lulled into a false sense of security, believing that the storms are finished for the day. That, however, will not be the case.
More thunderstorms are likely to erupt throughout the late hours when energy from the Dakotas enters the atmosphere. Through Wednesday evening, a rift in the jet stream will bring strong to severe thunderstorms to explode over the Upper Midwest, meteorologist Rob Richards said.
Lack of Sunshine

A lack of sunshine is one element that might reduce the severity of the storms. When the sun shines brightly, the ground heats up more quickly and contributes to rising air. However, the energy in the upper atmosphere is predicted to compensate for the lack of sunlight, and the new storms are expected to be fierce.
