Once the storms move through, that will be the end of the severe weather for the day, but showers could continue through the evening. Flash flooding is possible.

There are a lot of trees down as a result of the strong winds. At Swan Point, a wind gust of 70 mph was reported.  

The severe storms come a day after strong storms rolled through, spinning off at least two tornadoes, the National Weather Service says.

The skies will dry out and settle down overnight, then summer-like heat will tamper down for the rest of the week.
