Shower and storm chances increase to kick-off workweek
Hopefully you enjoyed the sun today because we start to turn unsettled again into the start of the workweek. Another wave of moisture lifts in our direction making for hit or miss storms Monday afternoon and evening. This active trend holds into Tuesday with an area of low pressure working toward the region. Once again, this brings the threat of a few thunderstorms later in the day into Tuesday night. The higher chance arrives overnight into Wednesday though. The latter half of the day looks drier as this disturbance departs. We set our sights on a cold frontal passage on Thursday though and this brings the potential for more widespread showers and storm. At this time, the threat of severe weather is looking really low. Behind this system, the humidity relaxes a little but we don't tap into much cooler of an airmass. Highs dip back into the mid-80s with dew points likely falling into the upper 50 and lower 60s. Highs then rebound quickly as upper ridging develops into next weekend. The lower to mid-90s are on the docket later in the 10-Day along with more sunshine. We can't rule out some stray storms popping up in the heating of the day though by Monday and Tuesday of the following week. The heat continues to hold for the middle part of next week with highs hanging into the middle-90s.
