A digging shortwave trough over the Northern/Central Plains will contribute to the development of scattered to isolated showers and thunderstorm activity up and down much of the Plains tonight. A surface front draped along the Central Plains and Middle Mississippi Valley will become the focus for severe thunderstorms and flash flooding. Severe storms capable of producing very large hail and destructive wind gusts are possible. A cold front extending across the Northeast and Ohio/Tennessee Valleys will generate additional scattered showers and thunderstorms this evening over much of Arkansas and western Tennessee before becoming the focus for severe weather over parts of the Lower Mississippi/Tennessee/Ohio Valleys on Wednesday. A Slight Risk of severe thunderstorms is in effect for these areas due to the threat of locally damaging winds and hail. Upper troughing over the eastern Gulf of Mexico will aid in the development of heavy rainfall in southeastern Florida tonight. The Miami-West Palm Beach corridor is particularly sensitive to the rainfall due to the recent damage caused by Tropical Storm Alex which is why a Slight Risk of excessive rainfall is in effect for that area. Scattered to isolated showers and thunderstorms will redevelop over the Northern/Central Plains and Upper/Middle Mississippi Valley on Thursday and Friday. Additional severe weather capable of producing large hail and intense, damaging wind gusts is likely to develop across much of Kansas, southern Nebraska and northern Oklahoma where a Slight Risk of severe thunderstorms was issued by the Storm Prediction Center. Record warmth in Texas will retreat to the southeastern portion of the state on Wednesday, where highs are likely to hover around 100 degrees. High pressure will build over the West leading to anomalously warm temperatures across much of the Southwest and Great Basin heading into the weekend.
