Nocturnal activity may be possible as well. Monday's coverage drops significantly as a more stable pattern develops.
Thunderstorms produce deadly lightning capable of striking up to 10 miles away from the storm — so, even if you don't see rain you could be in harm’s way. Remember this simple message: When Thunder Roars, Go Indoors!
