Discussion
The week started off on a hot note with no rain-fall on Monday, but the chance for showers and thunderstorms will increase later today as a cool frontal system approaches the region. Any thunderstorm late today or early tonight associated with the frontal system can be on the strong side. The front will tend to push very slowly southward through the end of the week as high pressure builds over the Great Lakes. As a result, it'll stay somewhat unsettled and our temperatures will trend slightly downward by week's end with highs on Friday likely confined to the middle 80’s.
