The greatest risk with the second round will be across southeastern areas. The severe threat should end after 8 p.m. as storms exit the region.

The silver lining: Tuesday is bringing us some much-needed rainfall, with between 1 to 2 inches expected for some locations. Now is a good time to clear drains or catch basins of leaves and debris in case heavy downpours occur.

Stay weather alert with your weather radio, fresh batteries, and the First Alert Weather App.
