Discussion              

A warm front arrives in the region later today and a strong cool front will cross the area on Tuesday. The combination of these two systems and other ingredients in the atmosphere will once again raise the chance of some heavy rainfall around here from late today into Tuesday and there is the threat of strong-to-severe thunderstorm activity with damaging wind gusts a risk. Following the passage of the cool front, the second half of the week will likely be rather quiet for a change featuring generally warm and dry conditions.
