Only general storms in the forecast Monday, but Tuesday the severe weather risk begins to increase.  Large hail and damaging winds will be possible.

Forecast

The strongest storms should be building over the Lower Mississippi Valley by Tuesday morning.  These storms could contain large hail and damaging winds.  The isolated severe threat will last into Wednesday as well.
