There is a low chance of strong to severe storms, mainly between 12AM-6AM Sunday. The main risk is damaging wind gusts but there is a low chance of a tornado or two as well. Please keep up with the latest forecast and have multiple ways of receiving warnings!
After a warm/dry day today, a storm system approaching from the west will bring medium to high chances of showers and a few thunderstorms, mainly from late tonight into early Sunday morning. Some of the storms could become strong-severe, with locally damaging winds and heavy rainfall possible (in addition to a tornado or two). Lingering rain and clouds will diminish from southwest to northeast by early Sunday afternoon, as a cold front moves across the area. Colder conditions are expected to start next week, with high temperatures only in the upper 60s-lower 70s, and lows in the upper 30s-lower 40s.
