Breakfast brief
Another stormy week ahead

Breakfast briefing

Another batch of severe storms will sweep across the central U.S. to start the new work week, with hot weather spreading into more of the East.

1957 Kansas City twister

On this day in 1957, a tornado swept across the Kansas City suburbs, killing 45 people as it traveled 71 miles. A check picked up by the tornado was found in Iowa, 165 miles away.

Today's weather outlook

The WeatherRadar is showing a new storm system moving out of the Rockies organizing over the north-central Plains and into the Midwest. This will be the location for today's severe storms, generally from northeastern Colorado eastward into the Upper Midwest. Damaging winds will be the biggest threat.

Monday's preview
Severe storms will roll across the central Plains.

The rest of the U.S. will have a warm to hot start to the work week. The East and South will climb into the upper 70s and low 80s, while the Southwest and southern Florida will see temperatures in the low 90s. The Western U.S. will be a bit chilly with highs in the 60s and low 70s.

The image shows an intense tropical cyclone over the western Pacific, east of Taiwan and the Philippines. The centre of the system is depicted as a light purple and white vortex with a clearly visible eye, surrounded by a ring of red and orange areas indicating the strongest wind speeds. A white arrow marks the typhoon’s predicted track towards the north-west, in the direction of Taiwan. To the west of the storm lie the Philippines, with the cities of Manila and Cebu; to the north of these lies Taiwan, with Taipei. Further west, the Chinese coast, including Hong Kong, and parts of Vietnam can be seen. The coloured wind map shows predominantly green areas outside the storm’s core, indicating significantly weaker winds. White streamlines illustrate the typhoon’s anti-clockwise circulation in the Northern Hemisphere. The highest wind speeds are concentrated around the eye of the cyclone.
