Damaging winds and hail will be the primary concerns. Even still, we can't completely rule out a quick spin-up tornado within the line of storms.
Rain totals should be generous with much of the area picking up at least a half inch of rain. Some spots could easily receive over an inch of rain (especially farther west).
Rain is expected to clear the region by midday with decreasing clouds through Monday afternoon. A stronger cold front pushes into the area by Tuesday night. This frontal passage will drop highs into the upper-50s to lower-60s and lows ranging from the mid-30s to mid-40s. Frost could be possible for some outlying areas by Thursday and Friday mornings.
