Several factors are coming together this afternoon for a fairly significant severe weather outbreak. Though the focus will be well northeast of the Front Range in Nebraska and South Dakota, storms that develop this afternoon and evening across the Metro area will have the potential to be strong and borderline severe, with hail and strong winds the main threats.

After a rather pleasant weekend with a few storms over the region, this week’s weather will be dominated by northwest flow transitioning to a rare northeasterly flow.

A slow but steady warming trend will unfold as well.
