After a sunny and hazy weekend, changes are on the horizon as we head into the new week. Starting early Tuesday morning, clouds will move back into the area—bringing with them a good chance for rain and thunderstorms.
Two smaller storm systems are coming together over the Plains and heading our way. As they merge, they’ll help set up a long cold front stretching from southern Wisconsin all the way down to northern Texas. That front is expected to bring some active weather, especially later Tuesday.
Early in the day, areas to the south might see stronger, more isolated storms due to less cloud cover. But as the day goes on, the storm activity is expected to form into a line of thunderstorms, especially near and along the cold front.
What to Expect:
- Damaging winds are the main concern.
- There’s also a chance for hail in some of the stronger storms.
- Heavy rainfall could lead to localized flash flooding, with some areas possibly seeing 2 inches or more of rain.
And this isn’t just a one-day event—rain and storm chances will stick around through most of the week, with unsettled weather likely continuing into the weekend, all the way through June 8th.
