A quasi-stationary front extending from the Southeast, Middle Mississippi Valley, and into the Central Rockies will trigger showers and thunderstorms over the Southeast to the Lower Mississippi Valley, and the Plains through Wednesday. Moreover, low pressure over West Central Canada will create rain over parts of the Northern High Plains through Wednesday. On Monday, some of the showers and thunderstorms will become severe over the Central High Plains/Central Plains. Therefore, the SPC has issued a Slight Risk (level 2/5) of severe thunderstorms over parts of the Central High Plains/Central Plains through Tuesday morning. The hazards associated with these thunderstorms include frequent lightning, severe wind gusts, hail, and the threat of tornadoes. In addition, a second area of showers and severe thunderstorms will develop over parts of the Lower Mississippi Valley, Tennessee Valley, and Southeast. Therefore, the SPC has issued a Slight Risk (level 2/5) of severe thunderstorms over parts of the Lower Mississippi Valley, Tennessee Valley, and Southeast through Tuesday morning. The hazards associated with these thunderstorms include frequent lightning, severe wind gusts, hail, and the threat of tornadoes. Moreover, showers and thunderstorms with heavy rain will develop over parts of the Northern Plains and the Southern High Plains on Tuesday. Therefore, the WPC issued a Slight Risk (level 2/4) of excessive rainfall over parts of the Northern Plains and a second area over the Southern High Plains through Wednesday morning. The associated heavy rain will cause mainly localized flash flooding, with urban areas, roads, small streams, and low-lying areas being the most vulnerable. Furthermore, showers and severe thunderstorms will develop over parts of the Northern/Central Plains on Tuesday. Therefore, the SPC has issued a Slight Risk (level 2/5) of severe thunderstorms over parts of the Northern/Central Plains from Tuesday through Wednesday morning. The hazards associated with these thunderstorms include frequent lightning, severe wind gusts, hail, and the threat of tornadoes. On Wednesday, showers and thunderstorms will produce heavy rain over parts of the Southern High Plains. Therefore, the WPC has issued a Slight Risk (level 2/4) of excessive rainfall over parts of the Southern High Plains on Wednesday. The associated heavy rain will cause mainly localized flash flooding, with urban areas, roads, small streams, and low-lying areas being the most vulnerable. In addition, showers and severe thunderstorms will develop over parts of the Northern Plains on Wednesday. Therefore, the SPC has issued a Slight Risk (level 2/5) of severe thunderstorms over parts of the Northern Plains on Wednesday. The hazards associated with these thunderstorms include frequent lightning, severe wind gusts, hail, and the threat of tornadoes. Lastly, upper-level energy moving onshore over the Pacific Northwest will trigger rain over parts of the Northwest and showers and thunderstorms over parts of the Northern Intermountain Region on Wednesday.
