Storm alert on the way

Why you should care:

Sunday's high of 90 degrees will be hot and also brings the likelihood of breaking the previous record of 89 degrees set back in 2002.

Late Sunday afternoon, we'll be watching for the chance of strong-to-severe storms as our next system swings into the area.

The best chances of strong storms will be Sunday overnight and into early Monday morning.

The system moving in will provide what is likely to be a severe weather and potentially tornado outbreak from the Midwest Friday and into the Deep South Saturday.

The main threats from any strong or severe storms that get going would be damaging winds and the risk of a few tornadoes. Be sure to stay close to the forecast and stay weather-aware on Sunday.
