And then here comes the second round, as a little low moves in and the cold front moves in both those providing lift the atmosphere. There wil be enough wind shear for some severe weather so we'll watch out for damaging wind maybe a brief tornado be possible here later on tonight. That'd be something that we'll be tracking.
