Severe weather is forecast to bring rain, isolated flash flooding, hail and tornadoes to the Plains on Monday and to the Mississippi Valley on Tuesday. Sixteen million people are at risk from Texas to Nebraska for storms producing baseball-sized hail and a few tornadoes in the evening and lasting overnight. The large hail threat is greatest from Wichita, Kansas, up to the Nebraska - South Dakota border.
Heavy rain will be associated with these storms, with a wide swath of 2 or more inches forecast from Nebraska to Wisconsin through Wednesday. An enhanced risk of severe thunderstorms has been issued by the National Weather Service’s Storm Prediction Center from the low pressure center in South Dakota, western Nebraska and southward.
