As a procession of disturbances continues to track across the central United States, many rounds of severe thunderstorms and heavy rain will pound sections of the Plains, Midwest, and South throughout the rest of the week.

This week's storms might bring tornadoes, some of which could be powerful, as well as damaging straight-line winds, huge hail, and flash flooding.

Severe thunderstorms, along with the possibility of tornadoes, are anticipated to return to sections of the Plains, Midwest, and South throughout the weekends and into the first week of May in many sets.

A southerly dip in the jet stream will emerge from the Rockies and across the central United States by Friday, producing another spring storm system that will coincide with warm, humid air pushing northward from the Gulf of Mexico, as per Fox News.

The initial system throughout this dynamic weather phenomenon triggered heavy thunderstorms in the Plains and Midwest on Friday and Saturday.

Then, late Sunday, an additional system arrived in the Southern High Plains, producing supercell storms with hail the size of baseballs in West Texas, as per The Weather Channel.

Rain and thunderstorms from the second system are already sweeping through the Plains.

More severe weather is expected to develop in the south-central United States on Monday afternoon and evening.

Weather forecast within the week

Monday and Monday Night

On Monday, a disturbance moving over the Southern Plains is expected to cause severe storms across Oklahoma, North Texas, southern Kansas, southern Missouri, and northern Arkansas.

Tornadoes, big hail, and strong winds are all potential concerns in these places. Some tornadoes (EF2+ severity) are probable, and hail two inches or bigger in diameter is conceivable.

Heavy rain could also cause flash floods in many of the same regions that are susceptible to serious weather.

Tuesday

This cyclone has the potential to bring more severe weather to the Ohio Valley on Tuesday.

Hail and destructive gusts are both probable, particularly from northern Kentucky through southern Indiana and southern Ohio.

Wednesday-Wednesday Evening

On Wednesday, the Plains will be hit by another storm.

Extreme storms across northern Texas, Oklahoma, southern Kansas, northwest Arkansas, and southwest Missouri could be accompanied by large hail, destructive winds, and tornadoes.

Supercell storms have the potential to produce powerful tornadoes and massive hail.

Heavy rain is also causing flash floods in Oklahoma, eastern Kansas, northwest Arkansas, and sections of Missouri.

Thursday -Thursday Night

As it moves eastward on Thursday, this storm will remain to build up severe weather.

Severe storms with destructive winds, huge hail, and cyclones are most likely in areas ranging across northeast Texas to the lower Mississippi and Ohio valleys.

Friday

Severe thunderstorms are expected to become much more ubiquitous across sections of the Central and Southern Plains, as well as the lower Missouri Valley, on Friday afternoon and into Friday night, with the greatest risk of severe weather in far southeastern Nebraska, central and eastern Kansas, and north-central Oklahoma.

In all of the abovementioned places, these thunderstorms will bring huge hail, destructive strong winds, and tornadoes.

Saturday

On Saturday, the major weather danger will move east into the mid-Mississippi and lower Ohio valleys, affecting regions of northeastern Arkansas, eastern and southeastern Missouri, Illinois, western Indiana, western Kentucky, and extreme northern Tennessee.

In some places, damaging wind gusts, big hail, and a few tornadoes are all probable.
