Severe Weather Threat Focuses on Plains




Scattered thunderstorms will be possible across much of the country over the next couple of days, but the primary severe threat will focus on the Plains.
Monday: Renewed thunderstorm development is expected in the afternoon over parts of the central and southern High Plains. Very large hail will be the biggest threat, along with gusty winds and a small chance of a tornado. This activity will sag south and southeastward during the evening and may again coalesce into one or more squall lines with damaging winds and heavy rain.
Elsewhere, some feisty thunderstorms are firing along a separate frontal boundary over the Great Lakes and Northeast; a few of these, especially in the Northeast, will reach severe criteria (one-inch-diameter hail and/or 58-mph gusts)
Tuesday will bring similar severe potential to mainly the same zone of the Plains and perhaps as far west as the Rockies of southern Colorado and New Mexico. Other strong storms may fire along the southward-sagging cold front from the Ohio Valley into the major cities of the Northeast, with some limited potential for severe weather.
