Sunday PM Forecast: Summer's not done, but gusty storms likely to bring cooling relief

The useful part

After weeks of intense heat, a pattern shift will bring some welcome relief. Though summer isn't quite done yet, a boost in storm activity will help take the edge off the heat. Expect mostly clear skies overnight, with humid and unseasonably warm conditions remaining in place.

How it works

• The afternoon will turn mostly cloudy as a wave of deeper moisture arrives out of the northwest, fueling scattered showers and thunderstorms in the process.
• Although Monday begins with sunshine, clouds will start spilling into the region by midday.
• Use the slider to advance through the next 24 hours of Futurecast A few cells could turn severe, bringing localized damaging wind gusts up to 60 mph.
• A Level 2/5 severe weather risk is in place to address that, so make sure notifications are turned on in your Storm Station Weather App to stay ahead of any nasty weather.
• Additionally, heavy rain will wet roadways and could overlap with the lunch rush and/or evening drive.

Details worth keeping

Sunday's isolated thunderstorms will quickly fade during the evening. Prepare accordingly for possible driving delays. One big silver lining to the boost in cloud cover and storm chances...
