Wet week ahead

Hope you were able to soak up the sun last week because we won't be seeing a whole lot of it this week.  Two systems will be affecting our weather throughout the remainder of the week bringing not only warmer temperatures, but rain as well.  System number one is currently moving into eastern Kansas/western Missouri this morning with rain stretching from northern Iowa, into the Quad Cities and down through southern Illinois.  System number two is just in the "developing" stages in southern Nevada and will move in by Thursday.  Rain will likely arrive from southwest to northeast late morning/early afternoon.  Rain amounts shouldn't be too significant with the first round of rain.  As system one weakens, system two will follow almost the same path and provide us with a little more rain Thursday into Friday.  I wouldn't be surprised if we heard even a couple claps of thunder!  Storms will be likely further to the south.  Severe storms moved through parts of Oklahoma Monday and will be likely into parts of Missouri, Arkansas and Louisiana today and tomorrow as the second low moves in.
The threat for stronger storms will shift a little further east Thursday as the second system moves into the southern Plains.
