We'll dial back the heat but turn up the rain this week. Multiple rounds of slow moving storms could lead to flooding. A few storms could be severe, with damaging winds an hail. Stay weather aware and remember to NEVER drive through flooded roads!

Conditions are right that we might see a few funnel clouds in portions of the area this evening. While these usually do not reach the ground, if they do, they can lead to 50+ mph wind gusts and cause damage. Seek shelter if you see a funnel cloud approaching the ground.
