All the comprehensive, constantly updated weather maps:
A key factor in all severe weather outbreaks is the jet stream.
The stronger the jet stream is, the greater the lift coming from mid/upper level dynamics(low level lift is modulated by surface temps/moisture) and the stronger the wind shear potential(especially for tornadoes).
Here's the 250 mb jet stream around 34,000 feet late Monday. The pink, 130+ kt jet streak is the equivalent of around 150+ mph. Pretty potent which should lead to some violent tornadoes on Monday.
This jet stream is digging into the base of a deep trough that's forming in the Central US, which will put much of the Plains/Midwest in an extremely favorable position, (underneath the jet stream) for widespread severe weather this week.
It will weaken some on Tue-Thu as it tracks eastward so the weather won't be AS severe.

Monday's storm reports. This will sound odd but the number of violent tornadoes in OK/KS was LESS than feared. Anytime the Storm Prediction has the HIGH risk category, it can end up being really bad:
