Discussion
Enough moisture will be around the region today for isolated showers and thunderstorms to form and that unsettled weather will continue into Thursday as well. By the end of the week, however, high pressure will take over and the weather will turn warmer and drier and that dry, warm weather will continue this weekend with high temperatures climbing to near 80 degrees each day.
One final note: the tornado that struck Oklahoma on Monday has now been upgraded to an "EF-5" classification level which is the most intense type on the "Enhanced Fugita" scale and it is suggestive of 200+ mph winds.
