Also, it will be breezy as southerly winds increase to 17 mph, gusting to 25 mph at times. A line of showers and t-storms moves in after 7 PM from the northwest as a cold front approaches.

Strong damaging wind is the main threat but some large hail is also possible. Storms will also bring heavy rain with .75″ to 1.50″ likely.

Rain moves out early Sunday morning, leaving us with a dry and mild day with high temperatures in the mid to upper 60s. The work week will start with seasonal temperatures as we climb to near 70 Monday but another cold front brings cooler air in for Tuesday with high temperature only reaching the low 60s, dropping to near 40 Tuesday night, with some upper 30s possible.
