Localized flooding is the primary risk, although late-day storms can also produce locally damaging wind gusts and perhaps a brief tornado. Most of the storms will wrap up by sunset.

A stronger push of drier air will allow the rain to go well south of our region Monday and Tuesday, with lower humidity and seasonable weather to enjoy. The energy from this weekend returns north later in the week, with higher humidity and storm chances by late Wednesday and Thursday.
