A FRONT EXTENDING ACROSS THE FLORIDA PENINSULA COAST WILL SLOWLY

STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP ALONG THE BOUNDARY.

ON MONDAY, THE FRONT MOVES SOUTH OF FLORIDA BY AFTERNOON. SHOWERS  
WITH STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP OVER PARTS OF THE  
FLORIDA PENINSULA UNTIL THE BOUNDARY MOVES OFFSHORE. THEREFORE,  
THE SPC HAS ISSUED A MARGINAL RISK (LEVEL 1/5) OF SEVERE

AFTERNOON. THE HAZARDS ASSOCIATED WITH THESE THUNDERSTORMS ARE  
FREQUENT LIGHTNING, SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WIND GUSTS, HAIL, AND A  
FEW TORNADOES.  
 
MEANWHILE, HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE MIDDLE MISSISSIPPI  
VALLEY/SOUTHERN PLAINS WILL GRADUALLY SHIFT EASTWARD, REACHING OFF  
THE SOUTHEAST COAST BY TUESDAY EVENING. CLEAR SKIES AND LIGHT WIND  
WILL HELP ALLOW TEMPERATURES TO BE 5 TO 15 DEGREES BELOW AVERAGE  
FROM THE NORTHEAST TO THE SOUTHEAST AND THEN TO THE SOUTHERN  
PLAINS, WHICH WILL EXPERIENCE A SLIGHT WARMING TREND BY TUESDAY  
AFTERNOON. IN CONTRAST, TEMPERATURES WILL BE 5 TO 15 DEGREES ABOVE  
AVERAGE OVER PARTS OF THE SOUTHWEST THROUGH TUESDAY EVENING.  
 
A SECOND FRONT OVER THE NORTHERN ROCKIES TO THE GREAT BASIN WILL  
ALSO MOVE EASTWARD TO THE GREAT LAKES TO THE SOUTHERN PLAINS BY  
TUESDAY. ON MONDAY, AS THE BOUNDARY MOVES ONTO THE PLAINS, A WEAK  
PLUME OF MOISTURE FLOWS FROM THE WESTERN GULF OF MEXICO TO THE  
UPPER MIDWEST, AIDING IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF RAIN OVER PARTS OF THE  
NORTHERN PLAINS AND THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY OVERNIGHT MONDAY  
INTO TUESDAY. ON TUESDAY, THE RAIN MOVES INTO THE GREAT LAKES. BY  
TUESDAY EVENING, THE RAIN WILL EXTEND FROM THE LOWER GREAT LAKES  
SOUTHWESTWARD TO THE MIDDLE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. COLD HIGH PRESSURE  
OVER HUDSON BAY WILL STREAM COLD AIR OVER LAKE SUPERIOR,  
DEVELOPING LIGHT SNOW OVER THE SOUTHERN SHORE OF LAKE SUPERIOR.
