Wednesday's severe weather threat stretches from northern Texas up to southeast Iowa and Illinois.

Thursday and Friday, the threat of any bad storms will decrease significantly as it moves east into the Midwest and eventually into the Southeast.

By the weekend, this pattern begins to shift and the country should get a break from any more severe weather.
