A couple of rounds of strong-to-severe storms are possible today. The first round will be around sunrise this morning, with the severe threat between 7-11 am. The second round will depend on the timing of the first. If the first round slows down, it may just re-intensify as it shifts south through the area. If it moves through quickly, the atmosphere may become sufficiently unstable for more robust storms this afternoon. If the second round does materialize, then wind damage may become more widespread, and the hail may be a bit larger. Stay tuned for updates!

Showers and thunderstorms will linger intermittently through Monday. Very heavy downpours and localized flooding will be possible with any storms that are slow moving. A few strong storms will be possible Sunday night into Monday.
