A cold front will move through overnight and send a line of showers and t-storms through the Coastal Bend, mostly after midnight through 4 AM.
There is a slight risk of severe storms with damaging wind gusts (58 mph or greater) the primary threat and a lower threat of large hail (1 inch diameter or greater). There is also a low, isolated tornado threat.
Most areas will see rainfall amounts of under a half inch but up to an inch is possible in stronger storms.
The rain will move out by 5 AM as winds shift to the north and drier air moves in. We'll have breezy north winds Tuesday morning with a mild, sunny afternoon and diminishing wind, leading to a clear, cool night Tuesday.
The next cold front will move through early Friday with scattered showers and isolated t-storms possible late Thursday through early Friday as moisture builds ahead of the front.
