Damaging winds, large hail, and flooding are all possible. Most of the region is under a 'slight risk' for severe weather, which is a 2 out of 5 on the severe weather scale, meaning there's a higher confidence now for one to two storms to become severe. 

Tomorrow will be cooler with highs in the mid 70s. Isolated showers and a general thunderstorm are possible later in the evening, but much of the day on Sunday will be dry.
