Storm threat continues from Midwest to South through weekend
Thunderstorms could pack damaging winds and hail through Sunday

Some places in the Plains and the upper Midwest are still cleaning up after a destructive derecho blasted the region on Thursday.
While we don't expect another derecho, here's where severe storms will remain a threat through Sunday.
