It will also be very windy with gusts over 40 MPH late today.
Ritz is tracking the chance for strong to severe storms on Sunday.
The Storm Prediction Center has put much of the Miami Valley under a Level 3 of 5 enhanced risk for severe weather Sunday.
TIMING
Ritz says forecast models are going and forth on how early the storms will begin.
She says the best timetable is between 9 pm Sunday through 3 a.m. Monday is the best chance for severe threats.
IMPACTS
The main threat is damaging wind with large hail also possible. An isolated strong tornado can’t be ruled out.
FORECAST CHALLENGES
Ritz says there is a highly uncertain threat due to the potential for persistent clouds after morning showers.
“If our atmosphere destabilizes earlier in the day-- the longer we gain some sunlight, we can heighten our risk for severe storms in the evening,” she added.
We will update this story.
