Discussion
A pleasant air mass will stick around for another day as high pressure slowly pushes off the coastline, but warmer and more humid weather is on the way for the mid-week. A warm front will arrive later tonight and then a cold front on Thursday and the threat of showers and thunderstorms will increase noticeably later tomorrow. And yes, there is the chance that some of the storms late tomorrow and tomorrow night can be on the strong side with some heavy rainfall possible at times. High pressure to our north should bring improvement on Friday and for at least the first part of the upcoming weekend.
