FORECAST DISCUSSION:

Sunday starts off sunny helping temperatures warm quickly into the 80s. Dew points remain in the high 60s to low 70s making it feel soupy.

A cold front pushes in from the west during the afternoon. This will spark a line of scattered storms. There is the potential for several of these storms to become severe. The main concern if a storm does become severe is the potential of damaging wind gusts. The best chance to see stronger storms is east of I-81.

Once the cold front passes, a much more comfortable air mass settles into the region. We get back into another fairly dry stretch as well. It is not until Thursday that the chance for a few isolated showers makes an appearance on the forecast.
