Discussion

After a dry weekend with high pressure in control, the weather turns much more unsettled this week with multiple chances for rain. A warm front will advance northward through the area later tonight and then a cold front approaches later tomorrow. This combination will increase the chances for some afternoon and evening shower activity on Tuesday and a couple of thunderstorms can mix into the picture. The cold front slides just to the south of here at mid-week and stalls out with low pressure likely to form along its boundary zone. As a result, additional showers are likely here from Wednesday night into Friday with embedded thunderstorms possible as well. The rainfall during the second half of the week could turn out to be a beneficial soaking event.
