severe weather chances will come Monday and Wednesday. All modes
of severe will be possible by later Monday afternoon and Monday
night with storms that develop along a dryline. Storms that
develop along a cold front Wednesday will also have at least some
severe potential. Storm chances will begin to diminish late in the
