A zone of showers and locally heavy, gusty thunderstorms will extend from the middle Mis- sissippi Valley to the Tennessee Valley and part of the southern Appalachians. Warmth will build south of the storm along the Gulf Coast states. While spotty rain and snow showers will mark the leading edge of a press of arctic air over the Upper Midwest, dry weather will persist over much of the High Plains.

Britain's ambassador to the EU, Tim Barrow, in- formed European Council President Donald Tusk of the exact start date on Mon- day morning. "We are on the thresh- old of the most important negotiation for this coun- try for a generation," Brexit Secretary David Davis said. "The government is clear in its aims: a deal that works for every nation and region of the U.K. and indeed for all of Europe — a new, pos- itive partnership between the U.K. and our friends and allies in the European Union." The trigger for all this tumult is the innocuous- sounding Article 50 of the EU's Lisbon Treaty, a never- before-used mechanism for withdrawing from the bloc. British Prime Minister The- resa May, under the Article, will notify Tusk of her na- tion's intentions to leave the 28-nation bloc. The article stipulates that the two sides will have un- til March 2019 to agree on a divorce settlement and — if possible — establish a new relationship between Brit- ain, the world's No. 5 econ- omy, and the EU, a vast sin- gle market containing 500 million people. The European Commis- sion — the bloc's legislative arm — said it stood ready to help launch the negoti- ations. "Everything is ready on this side," commission spokesman Margaritis Schi- nas said. Leaders of the 27 other EU nations will meet by the month of May to fi- nalize their negotiating guidelines. May's 10 Downing Street office said the prime minis- ter will make a statement in the House of Commons on the day Article 50 is trig- gered. Britons voted in a June referendum to leave the EU after more than 40 years of membership. But May was not able to trigger the talks until last week, when the British Parliament ap- proved a bill authorizing the start of Brexit negoti- ations. But like any divorce, things may not go to plan. The letter May sends next week will plunge Brit- ain into a period of intense uncertainty. The country doesn'tknowwhatitsfuture relationship with the bloc will look like — whether its businesses will freely be able to trade with the rest of Europe, its students can study abroad or its pension- ers will be allowed to retire easily in other EU states. Those things have become part of life in the U.K. since it joined what was then called the European Eco- nomic Community in 1973. It's also not clear what rights the estimated 3 mil- lion EU citizens already working and living in Brit- ain will retain. And it's not even certain that the United Kingdom — made up of England, Scot- land, Wales and Northern Ireland — will survive the EU exit intact. Scotland's nationalist first minister, Nicola Stur- geon, is seeking a refer- endum on independence within two years. In the same Brexit vote in which most Britons chose to leave the EU, Scottish voters mostly wanted to stay. Stur- geon says Scotland mustn't be "taken down a path that we do not want to go down without a choice." May has rejected that suggestion, saying "now is not the time" for another referendum on Scottish in- dependence. Pro-EU Labour Party Lawmaker Pat McFadden said Monday it is now up to May to deliver the good deal for Britain that she has promised. "The phony period is nearly over, and the real work of negotiations are about to begin," McFadden said. Conflictsarelikelytoarise soon. The EU wants Britain to pay a hefty divorce bill — estimates have ranged up to 60 billion euros ($64 bil- lion) — to cover pension lia- bilitiesforEUstaffandother commitments the U.K. has agreed to. British negotiators are sure to quibble over the size of that tab. Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson said a "vast" bill is unrea- sonable, and suggested that May should follow the "il- lustrious precedent" of for- mer British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, who successfully sought a re- bate from the bloc in 1984.
