The primary threats once again include large hail, damaging winds, and a few tornadoes.

Beyond the strong to severe storms expected Sunday into Monday, temperatures will cool down significantly by Tuesday, with highs only reaching the low-70s. A few showers and storms may linger through Wednesday, but drier conditions are expected by the end of the work week.
