Forecast for Strong to Severe Storms in US Midwest on Monday

A strong trough moving out of the Rocky Mountains is forecast to trigger strong to severe storms across the Plains and Midwest on Monday, November 2nd. The National Weather Service in Kansas City indicates that strong to damaging winds are the most likely hazard, though an isolated tornado or two cannot be ruled out. Widespread rain chances are also expected on Monday night and Tuesday, which may bring modest drought relief to some areas.
