Discussion

A frontal system will stall out in the nearby vicinity today and the result will be a continuing threat of showers and thunderstorms that’ll last through the upcoming weekend and into early next week. Any rain that falls in this unsettled weather pattern can be heavy at times and any thunderstorm can be severe. In terms of temperatures, they’ll gradually drop off during the next few days with highs in the lower 80’s likely by Sunday and Monday. On the tropical scene, Hurricane Lee strengthened rapidly late yesterday all the way into a “category 5” classification…will continue to be closely monitored over the next several days.
