On Saturday night, strong storms tore through the Lawrenceville area, causing heavy damage.

Unlike last night, today will be a fairly quiet day on the severe storm front.

Partly sunny skies will prevail but the chance of an isolated strong thunderstorm lingers today and a few showers or storms are possible again Monday afternoon and evening.

The best chance for any storms today will be from Pittsburgh to the north.

A cold front arrives Tuesday night into Wednesday, bringing rain chances and a break from the heat.

Temperatures will drop back to the lower 80s by the end of the week.
