There will be breaks throughout the day, but showers and eventual storms may train over the same areas, leading to a localized flash flood threat. The overall risk for severe thunderstorms is low, but if we do see a sizeable break, a gusty storm or two could develop late in the day.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-chromatic=\"ignore\" alt=\"\" class=\"c-image\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/https:\/\/cloudfront-us-east-1.images.arcpublishing.com\/cmg\/QQZX5FVN35BUTPZBNMENKPPAO4.png\" width=\"1440\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"ImageMetadata__MetadataParagraph-sc-1htor29-0 jibCgM image-metadata\">Sunday Storm Risks <\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 gJuxXh body-paragraph\">That same system will slow down and park itself nearby for much of next week.
