Storms are most likely between 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. Monday, with storm chances returning Tuesday.
Residents are advised to stay weather-aware and avoid non-essential travel during storm periods. If you’re planning to be outside, seek shelter before thunder arrives and hydrate frequently as heat indices could reach 100°F.
