will occur through the southern plains today. also, a bit unsettled through the carolinas and kentucky and tennessee. some snow hail in the higher elevations, the pacific northwest. that will continue throughout middle of the week. severe storms move into the chicago area, across the midwest by the middle of the week while we're looking at record-high temperatures down along the gulf coast. then we finish off the week with rain and wind in the east coast. obviously temperatures will drop a little bit there. but the middle of the country will dry out. we're looking at plenty of sunshine. temperatures in the 60s and 70s, so a little below average.
