Discussion
The big weather story of the next few days will be the arrival of another comfortable air mass preceded by a strong cold frontal passage on Tuesday. Ahead of the front, the chance of showers and thunderstorms will increase later today and continue tonight and on Tuesday. A comfortable air mass will follow the frontal passage resulting in very nice weather for much of second half of the week with overnight lows again in the comfortably cool 50’s. Elsewhere, “Claudette” has returned to tropical storm status after weakening into a depression over the weekend. This system will push off the Carolina coastline later today and could strengthen a bit more over the western Atlantic Ocean during the next day or two.
