A wave of energy pushing in from Canada will begin stirring up active weather across the Plains by the middle of the week, setting the stage for increasing storm chances and changing conditions across the region.

What to Expect (Tuesday):

Heavy showers are expected ahead of the frontal boundary Tuesday afternoon. Thunderstorms are possible, but severe weather is more likely along the front going through the evening hours.

The Storm Prediction Center (SPC) has issued a MARGINAL (level 1 out of 5) risk for severe weather on Tuesday. All threats are possible, with a small outlook for an isolated spin up tornado or two.

What to Expect (Wednesday):

Eventually, all of this energy will slide out east. The Northeast likely picking up the heaviest of the activity by Wednesday.

We can expect good coverage when it comes to rainfall across much of the Ohio Valley going into Wednesday morning. If you're living along the coast, this moisture takes a little bit longer to get to you. The front is expected along the coastline closer to 10 PM.

Another MARGINAL (level 1 out of 5) risk for severe weather is in place for Wednesday. While not a high end threat, a few isolated wind gusts are definitely possible.

When all is said and done, the northeast is likely going to walk away with the heaviest of the rainfall. Some totals in the Empire State could get upwards of 1.5 - 2"!
