Monday's Weather Outlook

An upper-level system in the Great Lakes starts to shift the wet pattern farther into the East Coast. 

Broad low-pressure in the Great Lakes with an accompanying cold front will begin to sweep sweaty moisture out of Midwest, Central Plains, and western Great Lakes. There will be bouts of showers and storms east of this cold front in the Mid-South, Mid-Atlantic, Southeast, and Northeast. The heaviest rain totals should be along and just east of the eastern Great Lakes.  

Storms will stretch from Cleveland down to the Gulf Coast. The Ohio Valley to Mid-South threat will include damaging winds and hail. An isolated tornado or two cannot be ruled out. Storms along the Gulf Coast and in the Southeast will have more of a damaging wind and flash flooding threat, but less of a hail threat.  

There is a low threat of spotty strong storms in Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Colorado. Large hail is possible with any storm that gets going. 

Showers are likely around the western Great Lakes and Upper Midwest as well as cooler temperatures. 

The Central to Northern Plains, Northern Rockies, and Pacific Northwest should be relatively dry as high pressure settles into place. 

Showers and storms will be found in the higher elevation Rockies in the Four Corners. This threat will extend west to Nevada and the Sierra Nevada in California. 

Lower elevation West Coast, and Southwest will be dry and hot especially in southern California, Nevada and Arizona. 

High temperatures in the 50s are likely in the Colorado and Wyoming Rockies as well as along the coast of Lake Superior. Sixties and 70s will be found in the Central Plains, Northern Plains, Northeast, and Midwest. Before storms move in, the Ohio Valley and Mid-South will see 80s. Mid-Atlantic, Gulf Coast, Southeast, Pacific Northwest, West Coast and lower elevations will see 80s and 90s. Triple digits will be hit in southern Texas, Arizona, southern California and perhaps even interior Washington state. A few of the desert locations in the Southwest could see as hot as 110 degrees as summer starts to really kick in!
