It was a very active start to the day Sunday with heavy rain and storms to start off the day. This caused quiet an issue for the Flying Pig Marathon. Since then we have dried out and warmed up slightly with mostly cloudy skies.

We have stayed warm and muggy through the evening and will still hold onto the possibility for some more showers as we head into the overnight into early Monday morning. Showers and storms will be isolated overnight, but we will stay warm with temperatures falling into the lower 60s. The better threat for storms will be during the day on Monday.

The Storm Prediction Center has a Marginal Risk for severe weather out for the entire Tri-State. The primary concerns are damaging winds and large hail, but an isolated tornado or two can't be ruled out.

The storm threat will continue into Monday and while morning showers and storms are possible before dawn, we should be dry for most of the morning hours before one or two rounds of storms move in. The first wave rolls in for midday and into the early afternoon as a line of strong, possibly severe storms come in from the east. This window looks to be between 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Then they will clear out and we will see another break.

This will allow temperatures to climb into the mid to upper 70s, maybe the low 80s. That warmth, combined with humidity, will allow for a lot of energy to build. That energy leads to another threat at more storms later in the day, some of which could be borderline severe. The timing for these storms looks to be late in the evening Monday, likely between 7 to 11 p.m.

From there, a cold front will pass through overnight into Tuesday which should start to calm our weather pattern for the middle of the week. There may still be a few light showers on Tuesday, but the chances are low. Tuesday and Wednesday will be a bit cooler, still around normal, before we warm up again later in the week.
