As the weekend storm that wreaked havoc from Texas to Alabama exits over the Atlantic overnight, a parallel wave of thunderstorms over the Great Lakes is headed east, and the Pacific is delivering a new winter front.
The weekend's low-pressure system whipped up winds that drove fires in Oklahoma and Texas and cranked out deadly tornadoes in Alabama, Arkansas, Missouri, Kansas and Mississippi.
Behind it tonight is a system of cooler, unstable air that is moving southeast and clashing with warm air in front of it. The front will continue to produce thunderstorms and the threat of more severe weather, including the possibility of tornadoes, as it moves east along a diagonal line from the Lower Great Lakes to the Appalachian Mountains, the weather service said.
It should exit overnight Monday into Tuesday, it said, but before that the front might linger a bit along the dense Northeast Coast, including New England's shoreline, the weather service said. By Tuesday, much of the East Coast should be in the clear, the weather service said.
The storm that wreaked weekend havoc exits as more extreme weather is possible, continued
The Pacific Ocean was churning out another classic winter storm that is moving southeast into Northern California tonight with 2 to 4 feet of snow and high winds as strong as 75 mph forecast for the Northern Sierra Nevada Mountains. Rain is falling in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Federal forecasters said an expanding low-pressure system will develop in the Rocky Mountains and the High Plains on Tuesday, once again whipping up winds to the south and increasing fire risk in the central and southern High Plains, which includes Nebraska, Kansas, Colorado, Oklahoma and Texas, the latter two struck by wildfires Friday and into the weekend.
The weekend's tornado-producing system was charged up by a clash between cold and warm air in the atmosphere, which is not unusual for this time of year. The calendar marks the first day of spring on Thursday.

Multiple tornadoes tore through the Houston area on Saturday, marking the second time this week that the region has been hit by severe weather.
Early Saturday, tornadoes were reported in multiple areas surrounding the Texas city home to more than 2 million people, including Brazoria County and the small cities of Cleveland and Katy. One death was reported in northern Brazoria County, along with four noncritical injuries.
By 5 p.m. ET, all tornado warnings and watches in the Houston area ended, with the National Weather Service issuing a rare “particularly dangerous situation” tornado watch for parts of Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas until 9 p.m. CT as the storms move east. That type of warning only occurs when "long-lived, strong and violent tornadoes" are possible.
Footage of the aftermath from a tornado in Porter, Texas, which lies to the north of Houston, shows widespread damage to houses and buildings, with debris scattered across fields. Additional footage of a tornado in Katy shows it rapidly swirling debris in the air.
One resident in Porter described how after the tornado, a house in her neighborhood "is like gone."
“The next one, the roof is completely off. Electrical poles are down on Porter Lane. It just kept going, causing so much destruction," they added.
Another resident who experienced damage in their neighborhood of Katy described the storm as a "scary three minutes."
Daniel Davis, the mayor of Manvel, a small city in Brazoria County, also said a tornado that passed through destroyed homes, schools, and businesses.
“There are a lot of people without power, and especially over in that area and the county, while people are on wells and septic," he added.
The severe storms follow several tornadoes in the Houston area on Thursday, including in El Campo, to the west of Houston. They come as many are traveling for the holiday season, with Christmas concluding earlier in the week and New Year's Day just four days away.

HOUSTON – On Sunday evening, Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo warned residents of the possible danger ahead of Tropical Storm Beryl making landfall on the Texas Coast Monday morning.
As Tropical Storm Beryl approaches, Southeast Texas is already experiencing significant rainfall from the storm’s outer bands.
The initial line of storms, moving south to north, has passed through areas from north of The Woodlands to Sealy, bringing significant rainfall.
Beryl is currently a tropical storm with 65 mph winds, moving northwest at 10 mph. The storm is expected to make landfall near Matagorda Bay around 2:00 a.m., potentially as a Category 1 hurricane. By 8:00 a.m., hurricane-force winds could affect areas along I-10, including Columbus, Katy, and Houston.
Houston’s primary threats include flooding and tornadoes, with the most severe weather expected between 8:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. The storm will continue to impact the region through the morning, clearing by the afternoon. Future cast models show continuous rain bands until late evening, with heavy rain expected in Houston and south of I-10 around 2:00 a.m.

Seven people died in Texas and more than 100 were injured as the severe weather swept through the state, Gov. Greg Abbott said at a news conference Sunday evening.
Abbott said 106 counties in Texas were under disaster declarations.
More than 200 homes or structures were destroyed and another 120 were damaged, Texas officials said.
Video shows Cooke County residents hiding in a Shell gas station as a tornado hit the area Saturday night. The tornado begins to tear apart the building with residents scrambling for safety.
No one inside the gas station was killed, according to WFAA.
Abbott mourned those who were killed in the storms, saying, "There's only one thing that cannot be rebuilt, and that's a loss of life -- That's why we always stress to everybody, whatever you do in any type of storm, put life first."
A 2-year-old and a 5-year-old from the same family were killed in Cooke County, Texas, officials said. The children were among the seven people who were killed in the area, which is north of Dallas.
The tornado that battered Cooke County was preliminarily rated an EF-2 with winds up to 135 mph.
The storm tore through a roadside travel center near Valley View, Texas, before continuing through a community of manufactured homes, according to Cooke County Sheriff Ray Sappington.
More than 60 people were injured
Most of those fatalities occurred at the nearby FRF Estates in Valley View, a community of manufactured homes about 60 miles northwest of Dallas, according to Sappington.
He said emergency response crews were combing the development for survivors Sunday morning amid "major damage."
Another hard-hit area was the Gateway AP Travel Center in Valley View, where many people pulled off the road to seek shelter in the parking lot or in the truck stop's restrooms and 60 to 80 people were injured at the facility.
It would really help if people just stayed away right now, gave us a few hours to get our search and rescue done," Sappington said. "I know some people were out of the area and trying to get back, but it's dangerous out there. Power lines are down. There have been reports of gas leaks. It's just dangerous right now. Just give us some time to do what we need to do. We're trying to still rescue people. The best thing people can do right now is give us a little time."
