Tuesday later in the day and especially at night is a time to be weather aware as severe storms may affect much of the area. It would appear that storms will develop to our west Tuesday afternoon and then move or develop eastward heading into the evening and overnight. Severe weather parameters are forecasted to be sufficient for damaging winds, large hail and possibly tornadoes. Much of this will depend on how things develop with this system.
