Discussion
It’ll become quite warm today with the return of sunshine and temperatures should climb well up into the 80's. Our unsettled weather pattern will continue with showers and thunderstorms likely from later today into later Wednesday...some of the rain can be heavy at times and some of the storms that form can be on the strong side. A cold front will push through by tomorrow night and high pressure will follow for Thursday with slightly cooler temperatures. An upper-level trough will move overhead at week's end generating some instability in the atmosphere and possible showers.
