The same storm system that brought severe thunderstorms to the central Plains on Saturday and Saturday night will move into the Midwest and southern Plains on Sunday.
Thunderstorms will impact areas from Minnesota and Wisconsin to western Texas.
Some storms will contain large hail, damaging winds and heavy rain that can lead to flash flooding. While the risk for tornadoes is low, these storms could spawn an isolated tornado.
Chicago, St. Louis, Missouri, and Oklahoma City are some of the locations that could be impacted.
There will likely be disruptions to outdoor activities on this Father's Day because of these storms and folks should be prepared to seek shelter if threatening weather approaches.
Weather delays are possible during the baseball game between the Royals and White Sox, which will take place on the south side of Chicago on Sunday afternoon. The series finale between the Nationals and Cardinals in St. Louis on Sunday afternoon could be affected as well.
