Strong to Severe Thunderstorms Possible Across the Northeast on Tuesday
As a warm front moves northward across the Northeast during the morning hours on Tuesday, warm moist air will track northward ahead of an area of low pressure. Instability will build ahead of the low as daytime heating increases. Given this forcing and instability, showers and thunderstorms are forecast along and ahead of a cold front, with a few storms becoming severe. Hail and damaging winds will be the primary hazards with the stronger storms. Morning shower and thunderstorm activity may decrease the severe risk later in the day.

Strong to Severe Thunderstorms Possible Tuesday across Texas
Ongoing shower and thunderstorm activity just ahead of a cold front will track toward the coast throughout the day. With warm air ahead of the front some instability could build ahead of the front, some modest instability could build across the region on Tuesday. This instability may allow for the development of strong to severe thunderstorms throughout the day. Hail and damaging winds will be the primary hazards with any of the stronger storms.

A Look Ahead
A weak area of low pressure over the Central High Plains may allow for a few strong to severe thunderstorms across the Central and Southern Plains on Thursday. With any storms that develop, large hail, damaging winds, and tornadoes will all be possible.  On Friday, an upper level low will move across southern Canada, bringing the potential for strong to severe thunderstorms to portions of the Northern Plains during the afternoon and evening.
