Forecaster Derrah Getter's First Warning Forecast

After a few rounds of severe weather rolled through the area this afternoon, we're tracking another round of severe weather for tomorrow. Your best bet for any outdoor plans will be earlier in the day before lunch time.

We are under a level 2 out of 5 risk for scattered severe thunderstorms on Memorial Day Monday.

Our primary concerns are damaging winds and localized flooding due to heavy downpours at times. Quarter-sized hail and an isolated tornado can't be ruled out.

This is all a result of approaching cold front. After all of the rain clears out, we'll be left with cooler and drier air.

Highs will go from the upper 80s in the beginning of the week to the middle 70s by the end of the week.
