Severe weather moves to the Ozarks, Texas

The system that produced severe weather over the Central Plains over the weekend continues to move east. There is potential for gusty, damaging winds, hail and tornadoes.

The WeatherRadar shows the next front moving through the central Plains and coming over the Ozarks and eastern Texas on Monday. Largely populated cities such as Dallas, Fort Worth and Tulsa could experience the first rounds of strong to severe storms in the afternoon. During the late afternoon and evening, the risk of severe weather expands to the northeast, toward Kansas City and western Illinois. Make sure to plan carefully, have your weather alerts on and track the storms in our WeatherRadar.

The Pacific Northwest remains active, with another front entering from the west. There was a short break overnight, but Monday will be dominated by heavy rains and snow falling over the mountains. This will be a quick-moving front, and expect the weather to calm by sunset in Seattle and coastal communities, while there will still be some showers and snow falling inland.

The TemperatureRadar shows cooler weather still in place across the Northeast. Cities like New York City and Boston will hit 50 degrees, but with a few thicker clouds over New England, many cities in the region will struggle to hit 50 degrees on Monday afternoon. Temperatures will rebound into the 70s on Tuesday as the winds shift and the next cold front approaches. It won't be until Thursday when the temperatures will fall again, but this time not as low and the week will end with highs in the 60s across the Northeast.

After a somewhat cooler Sunday, Arizona's temperatures rebound to the 70s across the southern half. Flagstaff and other northern Cities will remain between 45 and 55 degrees, and another freezing night is in the forecast. Expect gusty winds, mainly from the north, that will make these lows feel colder, so bundle up!

Winds will be strong across the inland California mountains and deserts through Las Vegas. Winds from the north will gust up to 40 mph at times and be dry. This combination will enhance the fire risk across the area. Please refrain from doing any activities that could spark fires or involve fires.

The National Hurricane Center officially labeled the area over the Caribbean as PTC 18, which is likely to become Rafael later today. This system is forecast to gain strength as it moves toward eastern Cuba. Tropical rains are expected for the Caymans, Jamaica, and central and eastern Cuba. We will bring you more details later today.

It's never too early to prepare for the winter season! Is your blizzard kit in order?
