Tracking severe storms and heavy rain tonight

TONIGHT: Widespread strong to severe storms that could produce large hail, damaging winds, and tornadoes along with heavy rain. Isolated flash flooding possible with 2-3"+ rainfall expected. Lows in the lower 60s.

TOMORROW: Storms exiting early, breezy and mostly cloudy with highs in the low to mid-70s.

EXTENDED: Strong storms continue to develop ahead of a cold front and push east this evening, bringing the threat of very large hail, damaging winds, tornadoes, and flooding as discrete storms form into one large thunderstorm complex that lasts into early tomorrow morning. The severe threat looks lower after midnight, but scattered storms could continue into early Tuesday. The cold front pushes east on Tuesday, leaving us with slightly cooler temperatures and gusty winds. We'll cool down through mid-week with highs in the 60s through Friday. Rain chances return by the weekend as temperatures begin to warm back up into the lower 70s.
