TRACKING STRONG STORMS SUNDAY
A flood watch is in effect through Sunday for isolated thunderstorms capable of producing heavy rain. Up to 1" of rain is expected, but localized 2 to 4" rain totals are possible in stronger storms. While the primary hazard is heavy rain, there is a risk for damaging wind for Sunday as well.
The best chance for these drenching thunderstorms will be Sunday 1 a.m. through 9 a.m., with clouds and stray showers lingering until noon especially in areas out east. It will be a muggy Sunday morning, with temperatures near 70 and a hot afternoon, with highs in the 80s, feeling like close to 90 under a mix of sun and clouds by midday.
SUNSHINE AND MODERATE TEMPERATURES NEXT WEEK
A few clouds will linger around early on Monday, but otherwise there will be plenty of sunshine, with highs in the upper 70s. Then cooler and drier weather from Canada will push in bringing ample sunshine Tuesday and Wednesday with highs only in the low to mid-70s. Wednesday and Thursday morning will be chilly, in the 50s.
Humidity and warmer temperatures returns for Thursday and Friday, with a stray shower. Next weekend looks dry and pleasant, with the coolest and driest air in months possible at the end of the 10-day forecast.
