Some areas will see pockets of heavier rain and hear rumbles of thunder through midday, but the severe weather risk will stay to our north and west.

That will change with the second round moving through late Tuesday night into the early Wednesday morning hours. There is a risk for strong storms with damaging wind gusts and the possibility for some hail.
