A significant severe weather threat is forecast across multiple regions on Monday, including the central Plains, mid-Mississippi Valley, eastern Nebraska, and North Texas. In Kansas, an enhanced risk includes hazards such as egg-sized hail, wind gusts up to 70 mph, and tornadoes, with previous storms bringing heavy rain and power outages. Eastern Nebraska faces a slight to enhanced risk with potential for very large hail, damaging winds, and tornadoes, especially in the southeastern areas, along with concerns about isolated flooding from recent heavy rainfall. North Texas also remains under threat for large hail and tornadoes as the workweek begins. The broad area affected includes Kansas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Arkansas, Nebraska, and Texas, with severe storms expected to develop by afternoon and evening. Residents in these regions are advised to remain alert for weather updates due to the potential for multi-hazard severe weather situations.
