.DISCUSSION...
Temperatures warm to start the week as we remain mostly dry on Monday.
A weak shortwave trough passes through the area late Monday into
Tuesday which brings the return of some shower/storm chances on Tuesday.
Look for cold frontal passage midweek to cool us down a bit again. An
area of low pressure in the West keeps the area unsettled in the second
half of the week.
