Yesterday's upper air storm system and associated surface low has now moved away to the northeast into Canada. What we are left with are very warm and humid conditions that will last all week long and into the weekend. To the west we have an upper air disturbance moving eastward. Until it arrives we will have some sunshine and highs will reach the middle to upper 80s. Late in the day some thunderstorms will probably develop though the best chances seem to be for areas inland and west of the coast.
