There is a threat for severe weather Monday – heavy showers and high, possibly damaging, winds that could produce isolated tornados – as a cold front arrives from the west, according to the National Weather Service.

Up to 2 inches of rain could fall between Monday afternoon and Wednesday night, said meteorologist Brian Coniglio.

So far, there are no warnings for tornados or flash flooding on low-lying roads, creeks or rivers. The risk for isolated tornados will run late this afternoon into early evening, Conoglio said.

Collins seventh-grader Gabby Karas won the Class 2A cross country state championship Saturday afternoon, beating her sister in the process.

Karas covered the 5,000-meter course in 18 minutes, 30.31 seconds - almost 16 seconds ahead of her older sister, senior Caterina, who finished second in 18:46.20 at the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington.

That 1-2 finish led the Titans to third-place in the team competition.

The Collins boys' team, meanwhile, finished second in the team race led by junior Devon Fielding, who finshed eighth overall.
