Unsettled week with rain chances each day to follow sunny and steamy Monday

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- A few showers and rumbles of thunder rolled through on Sunday, but the strong and severe storms mostly stayed away. Clearing skies and some patchy fog lead us into the start of the new workweek.
Today will be the driest day with sun and highs in the 90s. The remainder of this week will be unsettled with a chance of showers and storms each day and much cooler temperatures in the upper 70s and low 80s.
A front will move through our area Tuesday evening, bringing gusty storms. Then, we'll have to watch what that front does as it interacts with moisture from Tropical Storm Debby , which may trigger some heavy rain in our area by Thursday or Friday. Once we get to the end of the week, models are still split on Debby's exact path, so we'll continue to monitor that closely.
Speaking of Debby, all eyes are on the Gulf of Mexico, where it formed late Saturday afternoon. Hurricane warnings are in effect for Florida's west coast and panhandle, and winds of 39-75 mph are expected.
The storm will move over the extremely warm gulf waters and intensify as it moves north from Cuba toward the Big Bend region of Florida, where it is likely to make landfall overnight as a Category 1 hurricane.
By Monday, the storm is expected to exit over the Atlantic Ocean, where it will slowly move up the East Coast and create flooding concerns.
