Get Ready for Severe Weather and Temperature Extremes!

Over the next couple of days, we've got some intense weather heading our way. Northern Kansas to Southern Minnesota will see severe storms today, and those severe conditions will spread south to Texas by Tuesday. Be prepared for heavy rain and possible flash flooding, particularly in Missouri. Meanwhile, the southern High Plains will face extreme fire weather today. In the higher elevations of Wyoming, the Front Range, and the Wasatch, heavy wet snow will continue but should ease off by tonight. Lastly, the eastern U.S. is in for an early heatwave, with temperatures potentially breaking records, especially in the Mid-Atlantic and New England.

Severe Weather Threat from Kansas to Minnesota

Severe weather will be active today across the east-central U.S. from Northern Kansas to Southern Minnesota. Expect thunderstorms and heavy rain, with a risk of flash flooding in Central Missouri. By evening, the threat shifts south into the Southern Plains, with severe thunderstorms likely to impact Texas and the Lower Mississippi Valley late Tuesday.

Heavy Snow Across the Rockies

The mountains in Wyoming, the Front Range, and the Wasatch are blanketed in heavy, wet snow today. This is due to the storm system moving through the area, bringing colder air. Expect this snowfall to taper off by tonight.

Fire Weather Concerns in the Southern High Plains

High winds and dry conditions have elevated fire danger across the Southern High Plains. A cold front will bring cooler weather by Tuesday, but today, it's critical to be cautious to prevent wildfires.
