A strong fall storm is expected to develop next week and could ignite severe thunderstorms in the Plains, strong winds, soaking rain, and the most widespread snow of the season in the Rockies.
Two rounds of severe thunderstorms are possible in the central U.S. The first round Sunday afternoon and evening could affect parts of Oklahoma, northern Texas and southern Kansas, then could trigger additional strong to severe thunderstorms Monday a bit farther east into the mid-Mississippi Valley. The second round of severe thunderstorms is possible Tuesday into Wednesday in parts of the Plains and possibly as far east as the Mississippi Valley.
The first jet plunge will wring out mainly light snow over the higher peaks of the Sierra and northern Rockies through Saturday. The second, stronger jet plunge will have colder air to work with and, therefore, produce the most widespread snow of the season so far in the West. Snow is expected to intensify and spread through the northern Rockies and Wasatch through Monday into the mountains of Colorado and High Plains of Montana, Wyoming and perhaps even parts of the western Dakotas and western Nebraska Tuesday into Wednesday.
