Discussion              

High pressure will continue to produce a low-level flow of air today out of the east and this will keep a cap on temperatures despite the return of some sunshine.  It’ll turn warmer and more humid by late in the work week ahead of the next cold front and that system is likely to bring us another round of showers and thunderstorms…some of those storms later Friday can be on the strong side. The upper-level system associated with the cold front will linger for awhile this weekend and showers will remain a threat on Sunday. Conditions should improve on Sunday and then Monday, Memorial Day, is likely to turn out mainly sunny and quite warm with highs in the 80’s.
