Tornado alley 'about to wake up': Wall of storms threaten 18 states

Severe thunderstorms and tornadoes will threaten almost 1 million square miles of 18 states in coming days as tumultuous spring weather sweeps the nation.

"Tornado Alley is certainly about to wake up," AccuWeather Extreme Meteorologist Reed Timmer said.

Tornado Alley references a swath centered in Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado and South Dakota – parts of Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Iowa, Tennessee, Kentucky, Wisconsin and Minnesota are also sometimes included.

The wild weather sets in Thursday with storms across parts of South Dakota and Nebraska to Michigan and Indiana before sprawling into a wider area Friday and the weekend. More than 40 million people live in the storm zone, which will roll as far south as New Mexico and Texas.

But there is no end in sight – the National Weather Service's Storm Prediction Center (SPC) highlighted a risk area for severe weather for eight straight days.
