First to arrive this evening will be storms building in from the south along a warm front. As the warmer, more humid air moves in, stronger storms become possible into the late night. This includes while you’re sleeping.

With a second batch of storms coming in from the west, severe weather may be possible after 8 p.m. all the way through around 3 a.m. or longer depending on how long it takes for storms to clear our east coast.
