Discussion              

After a nice day on Tuesday with low humidity and comfortable temperatures, the mid-week will become unsettled as an upper-level low spins nearby helping to destabilize the atmosphere.  As a result, there can be showers at just about anytime today and PM thunderstorms are on the table as well any one of which can produce brief downpours and small hail.  High pressure returns for Thursday and then another front can cause shower and thunderstorm activity on Friday to close out the work week.
