Severe thunderstorms will impact parts of the Plains, Midwest and South to start the new workweek. The storms will be capable of producing large hail, damaging wind gusts, and tornadoes. Locally heavy rain could also cause some flash flooding.
A slow-moving storm system pushing across the Plains is the instigator for the severe storms that we'll see through Monday. The same storm system brought severe weather to Plains states over Mother's Day weekend.
Sunday afternoon and evening tornadoes were reported in parts of Nebraska, Kansas, and Oklahoma. Hail as large as baseballs was reported in Hawley, Texas.
On Saturday evening, a tornado did damage and injured five people in northeast Colorado near the town of Wray. Another tornado touched down in Morgan County, Colorado, damaging motorhomes and causing some minor injuries.
