Discussion
The overall weather pattern is undergoing some changes this week with the main features being upper-level ridging that will expand and intensify over the western US and a vigorous upper-level trough that’ll reach the Northeast US by mid-week. Temperatures around here will climb to the upper 80’s for much of the week and rain chances will be rather high on a daily basis. Elsewhere, it looks like there will be a tropical system later this week or by this weekend over the Gulf of Mexico - perhaps the first important system of the young 2021 Atlantic Basin tropical season.
