No severe thunderstorms are expected across the United States Monday. However, there have been and will be a few thunderstorms in parts of the middle and lower Mississippi Valley. Some of the thunderstorms have been accompanied by freezing rain in eastern Missouri and central Illinois, in association with Winter Storm Rex.
With a major pattern shift in the works bringing warmer weather to the central and eastern U.S., strong to severe thunderstorms will become more of a concern by Thursday and Friday.
A very strong low-pressure system will bring the potential for strong thunderstorms beginning Thursday and continuing into Thursday night in the Ohio Valley, mid to lower Mississippi Valley, and the Gulf Coast states. There will be plenty of wind energy with this system, but it remains unclear whether enough unstable air will be pulled north to bring widespread severe weather.
On Friday, strong to potentially severe thunderstorms may sweep into the East Coast states from Georgia to Pennsylvania and New Jersey and points in between. Again, questions remain about whether the atmosphere will be unstable enough for widespread severe weather.

Residents across the UK and Ireland are
braced for more heavy rain and strong winds over the weekend.
Forecasters have warned of continued severe weather conditions.
Parts of southwest England have been under water for weeks after the country’s wettest January in nearly 250 years. Areas around the River Thames to the west of London have also been hit by severe floods.
British Prime Minister David Cameron has promised to do “whatever it takes” to help those affected. His government is under fire from critics for a slow initial response to the floods which have forced thousands of people from their homes.
“We have another weather front coming in and that will rise the river levels in parts of the country, but we are doing everything we can we are fighting on every front,” said Cameron.
“The military are in there, sandbags are being deployed, we’ve got the biggest pumping in our country’s history on the Somerset levels. Everything that can be done will be done to protect people,” Cameron added.
Prince William and Prince Harry worked with British soldiers to help flood victims in the village of Datchet near Windsor Castle in Berkshire after the Thames burst its banks earlier in the week.
