Sunday night, it will be partly cloudy with lows in the upper 60s to 70 degrees. During the overnight hours, mainly after 2 a.m., scattered showers will begin to move into the area from the west. Winds will be westerly around 5 mph.

Monday

A couple of showers will be in the vicinity during the Monday morning commute with mostly cloudy skies, but the better chance of showers and thunderstorms will be in the afternoon. Atmospheric moisture will fuel storms. Overall conditions will be favorable for some storms to become strong to severe as a cold front sweeps southward. Downpours could cause additional rise of some area creeks and rivers, which are already elevated from Friday’s heavy rain.
