Elsewhere, a slow moving upper trough and quasi-stationary surface fronts will produce rounds of thunderstorms across the Central U.S. over the next few days. SPC issued a slight risk (level 2/5) of severe thunderstorms for a swath extending from northern Kansas to northern Michigan/the U.P. today followed by another slight risk over the Front Range on Tuesday.
There’s a slight risk of excessive rainfall over parts of eastern New Mexico and western Texas where a couple inches of rain could fall. Conditions worsen while moisture anomalies increase and shift westward a bit on Tuesday.
