Tracking warming temperatures with your First Alert to potential severe storms this week

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WMC) - Clouds will linger this evening but will gradually clear overnight and patchy fog will develop by Monday morning. Monday will be dry with a sun cloud mix with seasonable temperatures, but highs will increase Tuesday ahead of a strong cold front that will bring a threat of potential severe storms.

TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy with patchy fog developing overnight. Lows near 47.

MONDAY: Patchy fog early, then Partly Cloudy. Highs near 61 with overnight lows in the upper 40s.

FIRST ALERT WEATHER DAY - TUESDAY: There is an Enhanced Risk (level 3 out of 5) of severe weather across much of the area on Tuesday due to a strong cold front. Temperatures will climb to the upper 60s on Tuesday, so warm air will help fuel thunderstorms when a cold front arrives. Scattered storms will start in the afternoon and rain will continue through late that night. Some storms will continue overnight Tuesday into early Wednesday. As of right now, all modes of severe weather are possible, but more details on primary and secondary hazards will be provided as the environmental setup becomes more clear over the coming days.

REST OF THE WEEK: Rain will end Wednesday morning. Wednesday afternoon through Friday look dry and cooler with highs in the 40s and 50s.
