...DISCUSSION...

A WARM AND VERY HUMID TROPICAL LIKE AIRMASS WILL LEAD TO INCREASING
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THIS WEEK...ESPECIALLY IN THE AFTERNOONS.
THIS SCENARIO COULD LEAD TO HEAVIER RAINS AND FLOOD CONCERNS FOR
THE MIDDLE AND END OF THE WEEK.

A FRONTAL SYSTEM MAY FINALLY BE STRONG ENOUGH TO PUSH FURTHER EAST
AND SOUTH ON FRIDAY.
