Storms, strong wind gusts expected late Sunday night

This enjoyable, June-like Sunday in mid-April will end with thunderstorms, some with potentially damaging wind gusts, starting at around 10 p.m.

Clouds will increase Sunday afternoon. Rain and storms are expected overnight Sunday through about 3 a.m., but will dry up in time for Monday morning’s commute.

“There is the possibility that a storm or two may bring with it some high winds,” said 7News First Alert Chief Meteorologist Veronica Johnson. “You’ll definitely hear some of those storms out of your window this evening.”

The rest of the workweek is expected to be more comfortable, warm and pleasant, with highs in the 80s again for Thursday and Friday.
