Scattered showers and isolated storms will continue through the morning and into the afternoon before gradually letting up later in the day. Some storms could produce heavy rainfall, bringing isolated additional totals of 1 to 2 inches. A potent storm system is expected to move through the region midweek, dragging a cold front across the area and bringing the next good chance for showers and thunderstorms, with a few of those storms potentially becoming strong to severe.

Why it matters

The heavy rainfall from the Sunday storms could lead to ponding of water in low-lying and poor drainage areas, while the midweek severe storm threat could bring damaging winds, hail, and the possibility of tornadoes to the region.
