Discussion
After an unsettled day on Monday, a frontal system passed through the region in the overnight hours and the air mass to follow for today will feature lower humidity levels and comfortable temperatures. An upper-level low centered over the Great Lakes for the past couple of days will push overhead at mid-week and this will renew the chances here on Wednesday for showers and PM thunderstorms. High pressure returns for Thursday and another front can spark a shower or thunderstorm on Friday.
