Sunday will bring scattered storms if enough sunshine can pop out. While the flood risk is not overly high, any heavy rain may lead to localized flooding Sunday.

The new week will bring welcomed relief from rain chances as Monday features only isolated storm chances. A cold front will sweep through the region Monday into Tuesday, bringing a cooldown.

Rain chances will drop off to 20% each day from Tuesday through at least next weekend. Mornings will be pleasant with most areas starting out in the 60s, and afternoon highs looking to be 5° below average.
