KCRG-TV9’s First Alert Storm Team Meteorologist Josh Baynes says there's a threat of another round of severe weather tonight.
Storm chances will continue into the overnight hours and some have a slight chance of being severe as a cold front pushes through the region.
Once the front passes, it will be a little less humid as dewpoints drop. On Monday, a few storms may pop up and highs will likely be in the 80s. Looking at the rest of the coming week, it appears to be dry with gradually warming temperatures back close to 90.
