Discussion
A warm front has lifted north of the region and the result today will be a blast of summer-like temperatures and humidity. In fact, highs this afternoon should be in the middle 80’s mark in many spots to go along with the noticeable humidity and there can be showers and thunderstorms during the mid-day or afternoon hours. Any storm that forms today and tonight can be on the strong-to-severe side with damaging wind gusts, hail, and brief heavy rainfall. A cool front will approach the region by tonight and then this system will stall south of here on Thursday. As a result, there will be unsettled conditions for the remainder of the work week with additional chances of showers. Another cool front will arrive this weekend and it should become more comfortable around here on Sunday and Monday. 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.
