A slow moving cold front will become the focus for showers and thunderstorms this afternoon and likely continue into the evening hours.

The highlighted area has the greatest threat for isolated damaging winds/brief weak tornadoes/heavy rainfall. The ‘storms’ will be fairly slow moving and may not even be thunderstorms but still capable of damaging winds/weak tornadoes. The threat window should be between 3 pm and 9 pm.

The front will continue to sag southward and will likely remain a focus for widespread rain with showers and thunderstorms through Tuesday but with much lower threat for severe. Rainfall totals of 1/2 to 2 inches will be possible.
