Most of the severe threats will hold off until Monday, but we could still have a rumble of thunder or a few heavy downpours until late tonight.

Monday is a First Alert Weather Day with much of the region under a 'slight risk' (2 out of 5), meaning isolated strong to severe storms are possible with frequent lightning, hail, and damaging winds. 

Parts of Fayette County and Somerset County are under an 'enhanced risk' (3 out of 5), meaning that's the best chance for hail, damaging winds, and even an isolated tornado. The storm chance could start as early as 11 a.m., with the threat lingering through mid-evening.
