A SIMILAR SET UP CAN BE EXPECTED FOR MONDAY...ALTHOUGH THE COLD

BRING A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO THE NORTHWEST HALF OF
THE STATE MONDAY...MAINLY DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING
HOURS.

MOST AREAS. OVERNIGHT LOWS TONIGHT WILL BE IN THE MID 60S TO LOWER

STORMS COULD BE STRONG OR SEVERE....WITH AREAS OF HEAVY RAIN ALSO
POSSIBLE.
