Discussion
High pressure will move offshore today and a warm front will lift northward bringing us a chance of an afternoon shower or two. Behind the warm front, temperatures will soar well into the 80’s on Wednesday – the warmest weather so far this season - and there can be a few showers and thunderstorms in the area. Any storm that forms on Wednesday or Wednesday night can be on the strong-to-severe side. A cold front will arrive later in the week and it’ll tend to stall out in the region keeping us on the unsettled side into the weekend. A stronger cold front should push through the region by the middle of the weekend paving the way for a nice day on Sunday. Elsewhere, all eyes on the Gulf of Mexico as Tropical Storm Cristobal should head northward over the next few days towards the central/western Gulf coast.
