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. While there will be the threat for showers and thunderstorms later today, a better chance will develop tonight and on Tuesday as the cold front pushes in from the northwest. A comfortable air mass will follow the frontal passage resulting in very nice weather for the 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 during the next day or two.
