Discussion
High pressure sat on top of the region yesterday providing us with comfortable weather conditions, but it’ll turn hotter and more humid later today as a weak disturbance and associated cool front approach the region. That frontal system will then stall nearby on Wednesday and then it bounces back to the north as a warm front later in the week. As a result, we’ll have somewhat unsettled weather for the reminder of the week and upcoming weekend with a daily shot at showers and thunderstorms primarily focused in the late day and evening hours. Any thunderstorm that forms in the type of weather pattern can be on the strong side with locally heavy rainfall. A stronger cool front could push through the area later in the weekend perhaps leading to less humid and slightly cooler conditions by early next week.
