FORECAST:

• We’re in for another hot and humid Sunday, but this time there’s a better chance for scattered storms.
• The Storm Prediction Center has placed most of the area under a Level 2 out of 5 risk for severe weather.
• Even so, our high‑resolution models show storms remaining very isolated, with the heaviest activity staying to our west.
• If storms do develop locally, the main threat will be gusty winds.
• Once this system moves out, rain chances and temperatures will drop as we head into the work week.
• Our next best chance for showers looks to arrive later next week.
