An energetic upper-level pattern will bring a couple rounds of storms to
the central U.S. over the next few days. Tonight, moist return flow
following a warm front moving northward through the Plains and ahead of a
dryline over the High Plains will provide more than enough instability to
trigger robust thunderstorm development over the Central Plains.
Increasing upper-level winds will promote supercells with the threat of
large hail and a few tornadoes. Storms are also expected to grow upscale
into one or more organized convective systems, bringing a heightened
threat for potentially widespread, significant damaging winds later this
evening. As such, the Storm Prediction Center has issued a Moderate Risk
of severe weather (level 4/5). Storm chances will shift northeastward into
the Upper Midwest tonight and into the Great Lakes by Monday following an
initial upper-wave/accompanying surface frontal system. An amplifying
long-wave trough over the West will help to enhance lee cyclogenesis over
the High Plains bringing another chance of storms to the Central
Plains/Missouri Valley by Monday evening. The Storm Prediction Center has
included a Slight Risk (level 2/5) for the threat of some more damaging
winds and large hail, and possibly a tornado. Some locally heavy downpours
will also be possible, particularly from the Central Plains into the Upper
Mississippi Valley tonight and the Central Plains once again Monday, with
an isolated chance of flash flooding.
There will be a renewed threat for heavy rainfall and thunderstorms over
the Northern/Central Plains and Upper/Middle Mississippi Valley on Tuesday
as a deepening low pressure system tracks across the region. The Storm
Prediction Center issued an Enhanced Risk (level 3/5) of Severe
Thunderstorms from eastern Kansas to Southwest Wisconsin. There's also a
Slight Risk (at least 15%) of Excessive Rainfall for parts of southern and
eastern Minnesota, much of Wisconsin and northern Illinois. There are also
some isolated chances for severe weather and excessive rainfall into
northern Texas and eastern Oklahoma.
