Just a prelude? For which areas?

We've gotten a lot of rain, ongoing thunderstorms, but nothing near as intense as last night. I thought it was winding down for the night here. No?

NWS has 100% chance of thunderstorms and showers tonight, some possibly severe, for my area tonight. But that could be what we've been getting late this afternoon and now evening.
