Tuesday is expected to start dry. A strong cold front should pass through our area in the early evening hours, which will likely bring a squall line with it, containing strong winds and the potential for a few tornadoes and hail in the strongest storms.
These storms are likely to impact the afternoon commute on Tuesday. Every local county will see rain, but the quick speed of the storms will limit a greater flood threat.
Outside of thunderstorms, wind gusts will rise above 40 mph at times. Residents are asked to stay weather-aware on Tuesday.
