In the wake of the early-day storms, redevelopment along and ahead of the cold front will be possible during the afternoon, the FOX Forecast Center said. Coverage and intensity of storms associated with the cold front remain uncertain, with storms potentially struggling to mature due to generally weak instability and some mid-level dry air overspreading the region.
A few strong to locally severe storms will be possible within the area, with a threat of locally damaging gusts and small to marginally severe hail.
