From CBS News headquarters in New York, This is the CBS Evening News.

Good evening. I'm Maurice Dubois. I'm John Dickerson. We're starting with the weather

tonight because a powerful storm is moving eastward across the country. The National Weather

Service is warning of just about every kind of danger. Tornadoes, hail, thunderstorms, and hurricane force winds.

A blinding dust storm caused multi-car pilots today in Texas.

At least three people were killed.

The Weather Service puts the risk level for severe weather tonight at four out of five.

That could grow to five out of five by

tomorrow. And that is why Lonnie Quinn is joining us earlier than usual this evening. You bet you guys.

This is a huge storm. When you look at the map, here we have behind me. The wind warnings and

advisory stretch from the Canadian border all the way down through Mexico, right through the

midsection of the country, 1,200 miles wide, 1,200 miles long. The toughest weather as of right now. So we've seen it in Texas with the big winds, but not a drop of rain in that area. And the fires have proven to be a big problem because it is so dry. And the winds are 70, 80 miles per hour. But you get to Missouri, Springfield over towards St. Louis, a tornado watch currently in effect. There's another tornado watch south of that around Louisiana pushing into Mississippi. You're looking at four out of five warnings, according to the National Weather Service. Tomorrow, this line will be a five out of five. I'll be back a little bit later in this newscast to tell you what that means. But right now, gentlemen, John, it's all yours. Lonnie, thank you. Thanks, Lonnie.

Now, a different kind of danger in the skies.

Chris Van Cleave tells us the FAA today restricted most helicopters permanently from the area around Washington's Reagan National Airport.
