Discussion

All in all this looks like a cool week across the region with unsettled conditions at times. Beginning tonight, a cold storm from the Gulf of Alaska will enhance the chances around here for shower and thunderstorm activity, low elevation snow, and gusty winds right into mid-week. Given the cold air expected aloft, some of the thunderstorms can produce hail as freezing levels are going to be quite low. There might be a break in the unsettled weather briefly Wednesday night and Thursday, but another quick moving system could bring showers to the region on Friday.
