Severe Weather and Snow for the Plains and Rockies, Heat in the East - 05-17 to 05-19
Updated Sun May 17th 2026, 5:37am PDT

In the next couple of days we are expecting some intense weather as severe thunderstorms roll through the Northern Plains and Midwest, while heavy snow heads for the mountains of Wyoming and Utah. Meanwhile, the Southern High Plains face critical fire weather conditions, and the East Coast heats up. Stay informed on potential severe weather impacts, including heavy rain, damaging winds, and large hail.

Thunderstorms and Tornadoes Alert

Northern and Central Plains and Upper Midwest, get ready for severe thunderstorms today and tonight. These storms may bring damaging winds, very large hail, and even tornadoes. On Monday, the threat moves a bit south, impacting areas from Eastern Kansas to Southeastern Nebraska. Watch out for strong tornadoes and flash flooding.

Mountain Snowstorm Ahead

Starting Sunday night and continuing through Monday, significant snow is expected in the higher elevations of the Wind River Range, Front Range, and Northern Wasatch. Temperatures have dipped low enough to allow for one to two feet of snow in these areas. This is due to a low-pressure system bringing cold air from the north.

Fire Weather Risk

Southern High Plains, including Eastern New Mexico and the Texas Panhandle, face extreme fire weather today. Strong winds and dry conditions create a high risk for wildfires. Avoid activities that could start fires.

Hot and Cold Temperature Swings

While snow blankets the Rockies, the Eastern U.S. will experience rising temperatures, possibly hitting the mid-90s in the Mid-Atlantic. Be prepared for a mix of record-breaking cold in Wyoming and extreme heat in the east. This is due to the position of the jet stream, influencing the contrasting weather patterns across the country.
