Repeat storm risk on Tuesday
A repeat performance is expected on Tuesday afternoon, but these storms could be more widespread and stronger.

A lot of storms will be quite weak, with some cells becoming stronger and could warrant a warning. The main threat will be large hail (nickel size), strong wind gusts, and some downpours.
