Your First Alert: The latest on Monday’s severe threat

Lingering shower activity on Monday morning will play a big role in storm development later in the day. If clouds and showers linger later into the morning, resulting in cooler high temperatures, there may not be enough heating to get severe storms to develop during the afternoon and early evening. However, if clouds and showers end early and our temperatures are able to rapidly climb, we will likely see storms develop during the late afternoon and evening.

Any storms that are able to form will have a favorable environment to work with and could produce large hail, damaging winds, and tornadoes. Make sure you’re staying weather aware on Monday and have ways to receive weather warnings. A cold front moves through Monday night into early Tuesday morning. Strong to severe storms are expected to develop along the front, with potential threats including large hail, damaging winds, and tornadoes. After the front passes, however, the severe threat comes to an end by Tuesday morning.

Your First Alert: Staying active this week

After a dry day Tuesday, shower chances return for Wednesday and Thursday. Although a few rumbles of thunder are possible, this activity is not expected to bring a severe threat. We are dry by the end of the week and next weekend.
