Actual activity increases Monday evening as a cold front approaches.

It will be windy ahead of the front and the winds will be so strong that the onshore current will result in coastal flood warnings until Tuesday morning.

The greatest chance of severe storms is north of Houston, where the threat level is 2/5.

The front will continue to move east into Tuesday morning, making for a soggy start to Election Day.
