Numerous states face inclement weather, including heavy rain and potential severe thunderstorms this week, forecasters say.

It's not necessarily a major storm, but we'll see a little of everything across the eastern two-thirds of the country into the weekend. Here's our latest forecast.

Sticky, unseasonable warmth stretching across the eastern United States this week will set the stage for a sprawling storm system that threatens to bring thunderstorms and heavy rain — weather more typical of spring than the dead of winter — from Thursday through Saturday.

Ahead of the first cross-country system, a cold front delivered downpours across parts of Oklahoma, Missouri and Kansas Thursday morning before thunderstorms clustered together in a fast-moving line, producing a tornado that knocked out power to parts of Purcell, Oklahoma.

Severe thunderstorms are popping up around the Kansas City area. Wind guts to 65 mph or a brief tornado are possible through the evening hours, the National Weather Service said.
