More than 500 reports of severe weather over the weekend included three tornadoes -- two in South Dakota, one in Illinois -- and wind gusts of more than 75 mph in Iowa and Minnesota, which also saw baseball-sized hail.
The severe weather in the Midwest is being caused by a stationary front from Colorado to Wisconsin to Indiana. Storms were still firing along this frontal boundary Monday morning and moving slowly, meaning there's a chance for excessive rainfall and flash flooding during the morning across Minnesota, Iowa and Wisconsin.
South of the stationary front, summer heat lingers although it's less severe than temperatures from the weekend. Heat Index values will be in the 90s from the Plains to parts of the Southeast, however, this warm air is only slightly above average for this time of the year for most of the region. By Wednesday, much of the Southeast and mid-Atlantic are expecting Heat Index values above 100 degrees, which by Thursday could exceed 110 degrees in some parts.
