This is going to be a busy week of severe weather starting Sunday and lasting through Wednesday, perhaps into Thursday. The first rounds will hit Sunday and Monday as a cold front comes through the East. The next rounds hit the Plains Monday, Mississippi Valley Tuesday and the Ohio Valley Wednesday. A last round could hit the Northeast Thursday. Each of these events will include damaging winds, large hail and perhaps a few tornadoes. The number of tornadoes is running below normal so it’s not out of the question that that the number rises about normal after this week.

Snow is the other issue later this week. Snow will come down the Front Range of the Rockies and may impact Denver by the end of the week.

This week the weather will shift into the East after giving the West heavy snow. More snow will occur across the West through tomorrow but the snows will be winding down after tomorrow.

The next storm may bring some snow to the Northeast and eastern New England Wednesday night into Thursday. There is the chance the coastal storm intensifies enough to produce snow across eastern New England Thursday.

The next storm this weekend will most likely bring snow to the Western Great Lakes and the Northeast. While some of the models still have snow as far south as southern PA and NJ, the trend has been for the bulk of the snow to be north of I-90 in the Northeast.

Severe Weather: Monday – The cold front will produce gusty thunderstorms across the Midwest into the lower Mississippi Valley. Winds may gust over 40 mph and small hail can occur.

Tuesday- A storm will form along the Gulf Coast Tuesday. That storm will produce severe storms with heavy rains and strong winds through Louisiana into Alabama and the Florida Panhandle. Flash flooding may occur and winds can gust over 50 mph.
