Tuesday afternoon & evening –
Depending on how quickly the MCS moves out Tuesday morning and how much instability develops later in the day, a few thunderstorms (or even supercells) MAY develop later during the afternoon & evening on Tuesday. Storms may initially start as supercells, with the potential for isolated tornadoes, and then turn more linear later in the day, increasing the damaging wind threat. Damaging winds, lightning, hail, heavy rain, & isolated tornadoes will be possible. Severe threat ends by Wednesday morning. -WCW1
