Rockies...

...There is a Slight Risk (level 2/5) of severe thunderstorms over parts
of the c and Middle/Lower Mississippi Valley on Wednesday...

...There is a Slight Risk (level 2/4) of excessive rainfall over parts of

A stationary front extending from the Northeast to the Great Lakes and
then the Central Plains, along with a dryline over the Central/Southern
Plains, will produce showers and severe thunderstorms from the Great Lakes
to the Middle Mississippi Valley and to the Central/Southern Plains
through Thursday. Therefore, the SPC has issued a Slight Risk (level 2/5)
of severe thunderstorms over parts of the Great Lakes/Ohio Valley and
Middle/Lower Mississippi Valley through Thursday morning.  The hazards
associated with these thunderstorms are frequent lightning, severe
thunderstorm wind gusts, hail, and a few tornadoes.

In addition, the system will produce heavy rain over parts of the Great
Lakes/Ohio Valley through Thursday morning. Therefore, the WPC has issued
a Slight Risk (level 2/4) of excessive rainfall over parts of the Great
Lakes/Ohio Valley through Thursday morning.  The associated heavy rain
will create mainly localized areas of flash flooding, with urban areas,
roads, small streams, and low-lying areas being the most vulnerable.

On Thursday, showers and severe thunderstorms will develop over parts of
the Northeast. Therefore, the SPC has issued a Slight Risk (level 2/5) of
severe thunderstorms over parts of the Northeast from Thursday through
Friday morning.  The hazards associated with these thunderstorms are
frequent lightning, severe thunderstorm wind gusts, hail, and a few
tornadoes.

Meanwhile, a front moves onshore over the Pacific Northwest overnight
Wednesday and moves inland to the Upper Midwest, Central Rockies, Great
Basin, and Southern California by Thursday. The system will produce a
late-season snowfall over the Cascades, Northern Rockies, and Northern
Plains through Thursday. Coastal rain will develop over the Northwest
Coast through Thursday as well. Also by Thursday, rain will develop over
parts of the Northern Plains.
