HIGH PRESSURE SHIFTING EAST TODAY WILL BRING MUCH WARMER AND MORE
HUMID AIR NORTHWARD...WITH ENOUGH SUNSHINE TO BOOST TEMPERATURES
WELL INTO THE 80S. A FRONTAL SYSTEM WILL APPROACH TONIGHT...BRINGING
WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS...MAINLY LATER TONIGHT. A COLD
FRONT BRINGS STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS SUNDAY. HEAVY DOWNPOURS
ARE ALSO LIKELY. SHOWERS AND STORMS LINGER INTO MONDAY. A COOLER
AIRMASS RETURNS BEHIND THE FRONT...PERSISTING INTO MID WEEK.
