Storm chances continue for parts of New Mexico through Wednesday
Rain and storms moving through New Mexico right now will be ending overnight. Isolated to scattered rain and thunderstorm chances will return Tuesday and Wednesday before drier air returns. A large low pressure system moving into New Mexico brought widespread showers and thunderstorms Monday. Some of these storms dropped heavy rainfall and hail. Temperatures were cooler today all across the state due to the rain and cloud cover. Storms are ending overnight. A backdoor cold front will move into northeast New Mexico early Tuesday morning, quickly moving south and west across the state. This will bring a risk of heavy rainfall over the HPCC burn scar area by Tuesday afternoon, while isolated storms will develop in western, central, and northern New Mexico. Those storms will again end late Tuesday night. Another low pressure system will pass north of New Mexico Wednesday, but we'll still see scattered showers and storms Wednesday afternoon along and north of I-40. Rain may actually continue Tuesday night into Wednesday morning in northern New Mexico before more storms develop in the afternoon. They will be capable of heavy rain too, which will bring another threat of burn scar flash flooding over the HPCC area. Temperatures will be even cooler Wednesday afternoon across the whole state. A stretch of drier weather begins Thursday once the rain and storms move out Wednesday night. A few spotty afternoon storms will be possible in far northern New Mexico and northeast parts of the state, but almost all of the state will stay dry. Temperatures will be heating up too, with the hottest weather so far this year on the way this weekend. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Forecast: More severe storms expected Monday
ST. LOUIS — A new round of thunderstorms is on the way for the St. Louis region, though this setup is not as intense as the storms that hit last Friday. Still, you should remain alert, especially late Monday afternoon into the night, when the potential for severe weather increases. St. Louis radar: See a map of current weather here Sunday night into early Monday:A line of storms forming in Kansas and Oklahoma will move through Missouri and into Illinois between midnight and 6 a.m. Monday. While storms will weaken as they approach eastern Missouri, they may still bring wind gusts over 40 mph, brief heavy rainfall, and small hail. Most activity will clear the area in time for the Monday morning commute. Monday (through 4 p.m.):The morning and early afternoon will be mostly quiet, aside from a few stray showers and occasional breezy conditions. Monday late afternoon into Monday night:Storms will redevelop across Missouri after 4 p.m., especially along and near a warm front expected to sit near I-70. These storms may become strong to severe, particularly in areas highlighted under a Level 3 (out of 5) severe weather risk. All severe weather threats are possible, including damaging winds, hail, and a low tornado risk. As storms move east, they will likely lose some strength but could still bring heavy rainfall. Localized flash flooding is possible in low-lying or flood-prone areas. Tuesday:Storm activity on Tuesday will depend on how much the atmosphere is disrupted by Monday night's storms. If the storms 'scrub' the atmosphere clean, most of the region could see a break. However, if the air recharges with enough instability, another round of storms could develop in the afternoon over far eastern Missouri and southern Illinois. Tornado Survey Update:The National Weather Service has completed its survey of the tornado that hit the region Friday. It was rated an EF3 with winds up to 152 mph. The tornado traveled 22.6 miles and was nearly 1 mile wide at its peak. The most intense damage occurred in north St. Louis City, including Fountain Park, Ville, Greater Ville, and O'Fallon. Damage in Illinois was mainly to trees and rated EF0 to EF1. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.

Storm-stricken central US braces for more volatile weather ahead
Severe thunderstorms will continue to batter the central United States through Tuesday, with tornadoes, damaging hail and flash flooding all posing a risk to life and property, according to AccuWeather experts. Since Thursday, approximately 1,200 reports of severe wind gusts (58 mph or greater), hail and tornadoes have been compiled by the Storm Prediction Center from the southern Plains to the Upper Midwest and New England. Nearly five dozen tornadoes have been confirmed as of Sunday morning. Another wave of severe thunderstorms will develop through Sunday night before the storm driving this turbulent weather pattern starts to shift eastward early this week. Travelers across the region should remain alert for hazards such as debris on roadways, downed power lines, damaging hail and flooded areas over the coming days. Dallas to Kansas City in heart of Monday's severe weather risk zone "Moisture from the Gulf of America will expand across the central and southern Plains on Monday, which will set the stage for severe thunderstorms Monday afternoon and evening ahead of a developing low pressure system," AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Mike Youman said. This storm will tap into warm, moist air and set the stage for "damaging to destructive thunderstorms," according to Youman. AccuWeather meteorologists have highlighted a "high" risk area for severe thunderstorms encompassing southeastern Kansas, northeastern Oklahoma, the Ozark Mountains and southwestern Missouri. While this region faces the greatest threat, including potential tornadoes, dangerous conditions posing risks to lives and property could extend far beyond, reaching as far north as South Dakota and as far south as the app? Unlock AccuWeather Alerts™ with Premium+ "Large hail, damaging wind gusts and tornadoes will all be possible, and these hazards will linger after dark," Youman said. Parts of the Tennessee Valley and Southeast could also face a separate cluster of thunderstorms on Monday, bringing heavy rainfall and damaging winds, distinct from the primary severe weather outbreak area farther to the west. Severe weather dangers spread eastward into midweek, flood risk to increase On Tuesday, the severe weather threat will move eastward into the lower Ohio Valley and Tennessee Valley, putting regions that were impacted by powerful storms as recently as last Friday once again at risk. "Damaging wind gusts, hail and tornadoes will be possible once again which can exacerbate the damage that has occurred in some areas and delay cleanup efforts in others," Youman said. Trees weakened by saturated soil or compromised by recent strong wind gusts may face an increased risk of damage during the upcoming storms, experts warn. "While thunderstorms will be rather progressive in nature through Tuesday, similar areas will be impacted on back-to-back days. As a result, these heavy downpours occurring on already saturated grounds can lead to flooding issues," Youman said. The risk of flooding will include most of but also expand outside of the severe weather risk zones through Tuesday night. "The likelihood of flash urban flooding can be followed by the flooding of small streams and significant rises on some of the secondary rivers in the region," AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Alex Sosnowski said. Heavy thunderstorms will reach western Maryland, perhaps in a subsevere state, on Tuesday night, as crews continue to clean up in the wake of extensive flooding last week which prompted a state of emergency. A few thunderstorms could briefly intensify to severe levels along the Southeast coast on Wednesday. Meanwhile, as the storm slows dramatically upon reaching the East Coast, the Northeast can expect several days of wet, dreary and cooler weather conditions for the second half of the week.

Severe storms could bring hail to Tennessee, North Carolina ahead of days of flash flooding
Severe storms are likely across parts of the Tennessee Valley and the southern Appalachians by Thursday afternoon. The highest risk for flash flooding lies along the Gulf Coast near New Orleans and Mobile, Alabama, where a stalled front will allow for renewed rounds of heavy rain, the FOX Forecast Center said.
