It will be an unsettled start to the week for the mid-Mississippi Valley and southern Plains.
Thunderstorms, some which may become severe, will develop along a front that will sag south across the Midwest into Monday night.

"Vigorous thunderstorms will erupt over the mid-Mississippi as a cold front intercepts a sultry air mass," said AccuWeather Meteorologist Todd Miner.
Temperatures approaching the 90-degree mark paired with high humidity will set the stage for severe weather to develop into the evening hours.
AccuWeather Meteorologist Becky Elliot confirms that the high temperatures and high humidity are the right ingredients for strong storms to develop.
Thunderstorms will be capable of producing torrential downpours and damaging winds as the day progresses.

More storms are likely to erupt, as a front stalls over the Tennessee Valley to the southern Plains during Tuesday and Wednesday.

The greatest risk to lives and property from the storms will be flash flooding.
