- Supercells possible with tornado threat along with hail & damaging winds
- Only a limited number of storms is expected

- Numerous thunderstorms along the cold front
- Damaging winds are expected
- Isolated, brief tornadoes expected along the leading edge of the line
Storms will be largely over by Wednesday morning with breezy northwest winds arriving from the northwest.
