The threat of severe weather that encompassed a large part of the Great Plains on Sunday will push into the Mississippi Valley and Gulf Coast region on Monday, bringing a number of potential impacts as the new week gets started.
Here is a look at what you can expect this week.
Fiery End to the Weekend Weather Forecast for the Great Plains
Forecasters warned that the risk of potent storms would increase late Sunday throughout much of the central U.S. These risks will linger for the next few days with the storm cells predicted to push to the south and the east as the week progresses.
The most significant threat to the region through Monday night will be tornadoes that could spin up under the cover of darkness. Weather experts are urging residents in the potential impact zone to enable all smartphone alerts so that they are not caught off guard with approaching storms.
