Not as cold tonight, with increasing clouds and a chance of sprinkles/showers Sunday morning. Warmer conditions are forecast through Monday, with afternoon highs mainly in the 70s. Additional storm chances return Monday afternoon and evening, with a few isolated strong storms possible.

Warm temperatures and increasing humidity ahead of a cold front will bring a risk of isolated strong to severe storms Monday afternoon and evening. Large hail and gusty winds will be the primary threats.
