Sabrina Ullman: Chance of storms tonight
After a mild summer day, severe weather risk returns tonight. After 8 pm, there is a chance of thunderstorm development. Strong to severe storms may form with damaging winds and large hail being the main risk factors.
This system will move through quickly, so heavy rain is not expected tonight. There is also a chance of clouds and other factors inhibiting storm formation.
Once this round of rain exits, we will have dry weather until Thursday night. Tuesday will be windy and warm with highs in the 80s. We then go back to temperatures only reaching the low 70s for the rest of the week.
