Stormy spring weather forecast this week
Following a brief reprieve from widespread severe weather in the United States, the threat for severe thunderstorms will ramp up again early this week.
Dry weather settled into the southern Plains for the start of the weekend, expanding into the Southeast on Sunday. High pressure settling over Georgia on Monday will also keep most of these areas dry into early week.
However, the break for most of the Southern states will be short-lived.
“A storm will shift into the Midwest early this week and will become a focal point for another round of severe weather on Tuesday,” AccuWeather Meteorologist Brandon Buckingham said.
Although farther removed from the center of the storm, the cold front stretching down through the Mississippi River Valley is likely to be the severe weather producer.
Wind flow shifting to a more southerly direction will pull warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico to help fuel the storms.
Gusty thunderstorms are expected to develop along this cold front as it advances eastward later on Tuesday. Damaging winds into Tuesday night of 50-60 mph are likely, with an AccuWeather Local StormMax™ of 70 mph.
Storms will also be capable of producing hail and flooding downpours. An isolated tornado or two is also not out of the question.

“While many storm systems have targeted the South with severe weather in recent weeks, the threat for feisty thunderstorm development may extend farther northward into the Midwest,” Buckingham said.
Some heavy thunderstorms could also target parts of Illinois and Indiana on Tuesday.
The threat for severe weather is predicted to shift eastward on Wednesday as the storm pushes over the Great Lakes and a cold front digs through the Ohio and Tennessee valleys, and into the Southeast.
As the system pushes eastward, it may lose out on some of the Gulf moisture, causing it to weaken slightly. But, it may still be capable of producing damaging thunderstorms over already storm-weary areas.

As of June 9 details on why an appeal bond was revoked on Casey Hall which prompted her arrest in Sulphur Springs on June 2 remain unclear.
The former 97th District Attorney was convicted of misapplication of fiduciary property and theft by a public servant on May 13 in the 16th District Court in Denton County.
The jury gave her a sentence of one year in state jail for misapplication of fiduciary property and six years probation for theft by a public servant.
The 38-year-old Hall was booked into the Hopkins County Jail on June 2 on a warrant after a Denton County judge revoked the appeal bond that was $10,000.
Hall filed her intent to appeal the conviction and sentence, so after posting a $10,000 bond, she was released on May 14 instead of beginning her sentence.
Denton County Court records indicated on June 2 Judge Sherry Shipman, who presided in the trial, declared Hall’s bond insufficient and a warrant was issued for her arrest.
There were rumors Hall may have opted to drop her appeal, but that information has not been confirmed through the court. As of June 9 Hall remained booked into the Hopkins County Jail.
