Storms Continue Sunday Evening, Daytime Storms Monday
Showers and storms became fairly widespread Sunday afternoon, though through 6PM, none were severe across our area. Still, storms produced heavy rain and a decent amount of lightning. The storm prediction center lowered the severe weather risk from slight (level 2/5) to marginal (1/5) by Sunday afternoon. A few storms may still become strong to severe Sunday evening.
Damaging straight line wind gusts of 60 mph are the primary severe hazard. However, rain coverage and intensity gradually decreases. The sky remains mostly cloudy Sunday night with lows in the low to mid 70s. Daytime showers and storms remain possible throughout next week. However, rain coverage looks lower Monday and Tuesday. Monday through Friday look typically hot for early to mid July, with highs in the low 90s, perhaps mid 90s late in the week.
