Severe Weather Team 2 Meteorologist Brian Monahan says a cold front will drive up the risk of strong and severe thunderstorms late this afternoon and into this evening hours.

The main threat will be damaging wind gusts, but there is also a higher than average risk for large hail of quarter-size diameter or greater.

While the overall threat is low, a brief, spin-up tornado can’t be ruled out.
