Severe Weather Possible Monday Night

The National Weather Service is warning that there may be strong to severe thunderstorms Monday afternoon and evening.

"A weak cold front will provide a focus for scattered showers and thunderstorms to develop this afternoon and evening," according to the weather service. "While the activity that develops will be hit and miss a few of the thunderstorms will probably become strong to severe. The primary threats with this activity will be large hail and damaging straight line wind gusts. Dangerous cloud to ground lightning is also expected with any of these thunderstorms. In addition, brief heavy rainfall may result in some localized poor drainage street flooding."
