Colorado Springs
Dodge City
Amarillo
Oklahoma City
Little Rock
Springfield
Kansas City
Omaha
Cedar Rapids
Sioux Falls

In addition to thunderstorms, there is still a chance of thunderstorms and gusty winds. In Little Rock, the latest advisory shows that showers could unload in southern Arkansas. On Monday, potential thunderstorms can occur.
