.DISCUSSION...
Isolated storms are starting to fire across the region early this
afternoon and are expected to increase in coverage during the late
afternoon and into this evening before dissipating tonight. Monday
sees much of the same as today with another afternoon with scattered
showers/storms that continue into the evening. The next change in the
summertime pattern looks to come Tuesday through Wednesday mainly,
possibly into Thursday. This is due to a cold front that will approach
the area from the northwest Tuesday leading to more widespread
shower/storms through Wednesday with periods of moderate to heavy rain possible.
Southwesterly winds are expected ahead of the front before shifting toward
the northeast and finally east behind the front. Behind the front, typical
summertime afternoon showers/storms are expected for the late week and into
the weekend.
Fog Potential Tonight: Low chances for fog overnight.
