...Strong to severe thunderstorms with heavy rain across the
Southern/Central Plains tonight...

...Another round of severe thunderstorms possible across the Upper Midwest
to the Great Lakes Monday night into Tuesday morning...

...Critical fire weather risk over the Central/Southern High Plains on
Monday...


A slow moving low pressure system will bring rain and mountain snow to
much of the Northwest through Monday. From Monday night into Tuesday
morning, the precipitation across the Pacific Northwest and the Northern
Rockies will begin to taper off.  However, as the upper-level low digs
farther inland across the Desert Southwest toward the Four Corners,
scattered showers and high-elevation snows will also spread across these
areas.

For the mid-section of the country, another low pressure system is
forecast to track across the Northern Plains before merging with a cold
front dipping into the Great Lakes tonight.  Strong to severe
thunderstorms along with heavy downpours are expected to move from the
Middle Mississippi Valley to the Upper Midwest/Great Lakes tonight.  These
showers and thunderstorms will weaken as they move into the Northeast on
Monday.  Also on Monday, the severe weather threat remains in place
through central Texas while a new severe weather threat emerges across the
upper Midwest later that day.  This is in response to a low pressure wave
developing along a frontal boundary. Large to very large hail, damaging
winds and tornadoes are possible. The severe weather and heavy rain
threats will then head east across the Upper Midwest to the Great Lakes
Monday night into Tuesday morning.

The warm air across the mid-section of the country will expand eastward
over the next couple of days, with potential for record breaking
temperatures over parts of the Mid-Atlantic, Southeast, Mississippi
Valley, and Ohio/Tennessee Valley on Monday night and Tuesday.  Meanwhile,
a cooling trend will gradually work its way across the western U.S. with
ongoing unsettled weather associated with the low pressure system. Warm
temperatures, dry air and some gusty winds will promote a critical risk of
fire weather over portions of southeastern Colorado, northeastern New
Mexico and the Texas/Oklahoma panhandles on Monday.
