...There is a Slight Risk of severe thunderstorms over parts of the
Central/Southern Plains...

...Onshore flow will create showers and thunderstorms over Florida...

...Onshore flow and a front will produce rain over parts of the Pacific
Northwest with lowering snow levels...

On Monday afternoon, upper-level energy over the Central/Southern Plains
will move southward to the Central Gulf Coast and form an upper-level low
overnight Tuesday. The upper-level energy will produce showers and severe
thunderstorms over parts of the Plains. Therefore, the SPC has issued a
Slight Risk of severe thunderstorms over the Central/Southern Plains
through Tuesday morning. The hazards associated with these thunderstorms
are frequent lightning, severe thunderstorm wind gusts, hail, and a few
tornadoes.

Additionally, cold high pressure over the Mid-Atlantic will allow
temperatures to dip slightly below average, prompting Frost Advisories
over parts of the Mid-Atlantic into the Central Appalachians until Tuesday
morning.

On Tuesday, as the upper-level energy settles over the Central Gulf Coast,
showers and thunderstorms will develop over parts of the Western/Central
Gulf Coast through Wednesday evening. In addition, onshore flow will keep
producing showers and thunderstorms over the Florida peninsula through
Wednesday.

Moreover, onshore flow off the Pacific and a front moving onshore will
create rain over parts of the Pacific Northwest through late Monday
afternoon. As the boundary passes, the snow level will lower over the
Northwest producing higher-elevation snow overnight Monday into Tuesday.
On Tuesday, snow will move into parts of the Northern Intermountain
Region. By Wednesday morning, some areas will see the snow levels drop to
near the coast over the Pacific Northwest. However, the snow levels will
rise slightly as the day gets warmer over parts of the area. Additionally,
the coastal rain will continue through Wednesday evening.

Elsewhere, a front moving over Northern New England on Tuesday will
produce light rain over parts of the Northeast and snow over the higher
elevations during the overnight hours.
