Sunday will likely see a second round of showers and thunderstorms across the region, but that will depend heavily on cloud cover during the morning hours. Despite this, a few showers are still likely. Things will get even hotter Sunday afternoon, giving us the right ingredients, but timing will have a big impact on things.
