Discussion
After a dry and warm holiday weekend, the weather will turn noticeably more humid today with an influx of tropical moisture from the remains of Tropical Storm Chantal which formed during the weekend over the western Atlantic. The week as a whole will be very unsettled with the daily chance of showers and thunderstorms…some of the storms can be strong and some of the rain will be heavy at times. High pressure ridging that has been in control will retreat offshore today as low pressure troughing develops across the Midwest/Great Lakes region and combines with a tropical air mass to influence our weather.
