Overview
- Scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms persisted Sunday across several regions, including the Plains, the Midwest and California’s Central Coast.
- The Storm Prediction Center places parts of the central U.S. at a Marginal risk Monday and a Slight risk Tuesday, which indicate limited to modest chances for organized severe storms.
- Damaging wind gusts from 30 to 60 mph and large hail are the main threats, with a low but nonzero tornado risk where storms can form.
- Oklahoma, southeast Wisconsin, Kansas City and Metro Detroit carry the more likely early‑week storm chances, though a warm upper‑level cap could suppress development and shift timing and placement.
- Secondary hazards include a Winter Weather Advisory for mountain snow in Ventura and Santa Barbara counties and elevated fire weather around Denver under warm, dry and breezy conditions.
