We’re going to see warm temperatures for today as highs reach the lower 80s under partly sunny skies. Low-level moisture is increasing in response to an energetic southwesterly flow aloft. Southeasterly winds will also increase with the front approaching. Winds will be in the 8-16 mph range this afternoon, but increase into the 10-20 mph range tomorrow afternoon with higher gusts.
The main trough, and its energy, will be moving through Monday night and through Tuesday morning. Storm chances will be increasing shortly before midnight Monday night and continue through Tuesday morning. There is a low-end threat of severe weather as we’ll be watching for storms which could gain rotation and produce stronger wind gusts.
The coolest air will lag the front a bit, meaning warm temperatures will still continue through Tuesday. By Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, however, cooler temperatures will move into the area. Highs will be in the upper 60s to lower 70s through this time period, while morning starts will be in the mid-40s.
