This will bring thunderstorms for some areas around Marion County and scattered rain for the rest of us while we are sleeping Sunday night.

Most of this rain will be gone by sunrise Monday.

Monday morning, the air will feel a lot cooler.

A chill will be in the air Monday afternoon into Tuesday morning, and then we begin warming back up, but not to worry: Channel 9 is tracking four cool fronts in the next two weeks.

They will keep the temperatures from getting too warm and will give us a couple of chances for needed rain.
