Flooding downpours are most likely to occur over the Appalachians, where hilly terrain can increase threat of rapid runoff.

It is possible a couple of the strongest storms allow a brief tornado or waterspout to spin up.
The story is different in Los Angeles. Saturday will be marked by the continuous heat wave that hit the city with highs shooting to upper 90s and even triple digits in most parts of the Southland. By Sunday, however, there will be high chances of monsoon rains and thunderstorms occurring.
