.DISCUSSION...
Elevated atmospheric moisture and instability will lead to a
daily chance of showers/thunderstorms through the week. Storms
may produce localized very heavy rain. Expect cooler than normal
temperatures and seasonably high humidities. In addition, there is
potential for severe thunderstorms capable of producing large
hail and strong winds this afternoon and evening. The risk of
severe storms will decrease some by Wednesday. The entire region
will be impacted from this active weather pattern. JKL
