Discussion              

A strong cold front will approach the area later today and it can set off a strong-to-severe thunderstorm during the late afternoon or evening hours. High pressure will try to take back control of the weather on Wednesday, but a shower or thunderstorm can’t be ruled out during the second half of the week as the same cold front that passes through by tonight will stall out just to the south of here and keep it somewhat unstable.
