Strong to Severe Storms Monday Night and Tuesday

However, the forecast changes beginning Monday night when a low-pressure system moves into the Midwest. This will bring the potential for severe storms on Monday night, with a higher chance for severe storms on Tuesday. High winds, damaging hail, and tornadoes will be possible with Tuesday’s system. Make sure to review your severe weather safety plan and download the First Alert Weather App ahead of the storms. We’ll continue to provide updates to the forecast.
