Kramlich says that a warm front will move in tonight and this will place the region in the warm sector of the system which can produce strong and severe storms.

Waves of storms containing heavy rain will be likely through at least Monday afternoon.

A cold front will move across the area Monday evening, eventually bringing an end to the severe weather risk – and wet weather.

Monday evening, drier weather will move through the region.

Storms that develop Sunday night and Monday will be capable of:

• Heavy rain and possible flooding
• Damaging wind gusts
• Isolated tornadoes
