“Some roads may be closed, along with some structures flooding,” said a Weather Service meteorologist during the briefing.

In addition, storms may become severe Tuesday evening, with heavy rain, hail, strong winds and tornadoes possible. Though the tornado threat is not great, the possibility still exists.
