Severe weather potential is being monitored in certain areas. Isolated damaging or severe wind gusts are possible through the evening. A surface cold front is the focus of scattered showers and thunderstorms.

The environment in affected areas has characteristics that support severe weather, including instability and steep lapse rates. However, deep-layer flow and shear are weak, which may limit the severity of the weather.

Further details are available from the Storm Prediction Center, including specific areas affected and the probability of watch issuance, which is currently 5 percent.
