Discussion
Canadian high pressure took control of our weather this weekend, but it will move offshore today. A slow-moving cold front will approach the area from the north later today and stall out on Tuesday. As a result, the threat for showers will increase tonight and remain high on Tuesday and we’ll likely have to wait until Wednesday for clearing to return to the region and that will just be temporary as more showers threaten for the latter part of the week. Elsewhere, ingredients appear to be coming together for a severe weather and tornado outbreak in the middle of the country on Tuesday with Oklahoma and Kansas the likely the prime target areas.
