Severe storms plow thorough Plains, Midwest into Monday

Severe storms will be possible across the central U.S. through at least Tuesday, with hail, damaging wind and tornadoes possible.

Multiple systems are threatening severe weather and flash flooding in the central and southern Plains into Monday.

Severe storms are lashing states from North Dakota through Texas. They could produce golf ball-sized hail, frequent lightning, wind gusts over 60 mph and perhaps brief tornadoes.

Repeat rounds of flash flooding possible

The FOX Forecast Center is also tracking strong storms possible across the Midsouth and South, with the potential to generate torrential rain. 

Slow moving showers and thunderstorms will be capable of training over the same area, with extreme rainfall rates leading to flash flooding, leading to some concerns for locally significant impacts, according to NOAA's Weather Prediction Center. 

Rain rates could exceed 2 inches per hour, and up to 5 inches of rain may drench multiple states. There is also a possibility of a few damaging wind gusts. 

Tuesday the threat pushes into the Midwest.
