Discussion

The work week will start off on the wet side as low pressure heads in this direction from the Midwest. There will be occasional showers from this afternoon into Tuesday and multiple thunderstorms can be mixed into the picture. Some of the rain will be heavy and some of the storms can be severe and there is the threat of localized flooding as thunderstorms can develop in a “training” fashion meaning multiple heavy rain cells could move over the same general area. The rest of the week will feature moderately warm temperatures with no sustained high heat and humidity on the table despite it being officially the first week of the summer season.
