    by: Mike LaPoint Posted: Apr 24, 2025 / 05:59 PM CDT Updated: Apr 24, 2025 / 05:59 PM CDT After a somewhat precipitation-free weekend, storm chances will return to the forecast starting Tuesday. A dryline-cold front combination will increase the potential for strong to severe storms.

    The unsettled weather pattern will continue through the end of the week, with scattered showers and thunderstorms developing each afternoon. Due to the disorganized nature of these storms, it will be hard to pinpoint exact locations and timing until the day prior. Storms will likely be hit or miss, giving rain to some and leaving others dry. Though the severe risk will be low, an isolated strong to severe storm can’t be entirely ruled out each day.

Storms may become strong or severe along with periods of heavy rain, so plan for interruptions to outdoor activities.
