Monday Planner: Early storms
While there is a non-zero percent chance for rain all day Monday, most of our rainfall is expected early. These thunderstorms will be capable of featuring downpours that will limit visibility quite a bit, so you will need extra time driving into work on the morning commute. These storms are expected to be in the area from about 2-8 AM. After these storms are out, showers and storms become more isolated during the afternoon.
