The severe weather threat continues Monday throughout the evening hours as a cold front sweeps across the state line.
Strong to severe thunderstorms are expected to continue until around 9pm and before a cold front passes. The entire Stateline area remains at risk level 1/5 for severe weather.
The main threats during the evening will be wind gusts capable of damaging trees and power lines and large hail capable of damaging roofs, windows and cars. An isolated tornado remains possible with any storms that form east of the cold front.
As the cold front slowly passes, widespread showers and intermittent, non-severe thunderstorms are expected to continue to develop near and behind the front. This will continue until the early morning hours of Tuesday.
With heavy rain expected to fall over several hours in some areas, there is also concern about localized flooding. Watch for rising creeks, creeks and ponds/floods in any urban areas prone to flooding.
We dry and cool in the middle of the week. We will see a mix of sun and clouds as temperatures rise to the low to mid 50s Tuesday into Thursday.
Late in the week, another low pressure system will kick in, bringing rain early Thursday night, lasting through most of Friday before some snowflakes mix in as the precipitation winds down through Saturday.
No storms are expected with this one, but it does bring another round of beneficial rain after one of the driest Februarys on record. Conditions will calm down and warm for the rest of the week.
