An area of low-pressure building over the northern plains will lift moisture northward over the Tri-State. The moisture will materialize in the form of showers and thunderstorms, on-and-off through the day. Some of the storms on Sunday may be strong but the severe weather threat remains low. The main hazards will be heavy rain, lightning, and some gusty winds. Storms will be slow moving, which may prompt some localized areas of flash flooding. Showers and storms will gradually taper off after sunset. Highs on Sunday will remain cooler, only reaching the low to mid 80s.
