Strong to severe storms will be the big weather story over the next 24 hours.

Monday starts with a partly cloudy sky and temperatures in the mid 50s. The sky will turn mostly cloudy this afternoon as temperatures rise to 80 degrees. There's a chance a few stray showers and storms that arrive after 5 p.m., but our main chance for storms comes in after 10 p.m. Winds will be in from the southwest at 5 to 15 mph today.

The Storm Prediction Center has most of our area in a "slight risk" for severe storms. This is focused on the threat of damaging wind gusts.

A long line of storms will develop late this evening, stretching from Detroit to Indianapolis and into southern Illinois by midnight. This is the corridor where the storms will be at their strongest.

Then, the line continues to move east into our area after midnight. It will slowly weaken in the overnight hours, but it's possible a few strong to severe storms could still be embedded in this line, producing damaging wind gusts. Storms are most likely for our area between 1 a.m. to 5 a.m.

Showers will then fade to the east as the sun rises on Tuesday. Much of our Tuesday forecast will again be dry. Highs top out in the mid 70s for the afternoon hours under a partly cloudy sky. Then overnight, another batch of showers and storms will be possible. The threat for severe weather will be present to the south, but nothing of great concern.
