Severe weather threat Monday

A potent cold front will cross the region on Monday, sparking showers and storms throughout the day, some of which will be severe with damaging wind gusts to 60 mph, hail, and isolated tornadoes due to moderate wind shear in place. The timing of the stronger storms would be after 2pm along the I-95 corridor, and end around the dinner hour or just before.

Much cooler air rushes in behind the front with highs only in the 40s Tuesday and Wednesday, and lows in the upper 20s Wednesday morning. We will warm up again late week but not as toasty as we were this past week.
