We have got a warm front back to the west, and this is the leading edge of that oppressive humidity. It hasnt been so bad the past 24 hours but the dewpoints are in the 70s to our south, and that soupy air is working on in. So as the warm front comes in and brings in that soupy air, any storms that get heavy rain that could lead to localized flooding, and also lightning but the stronger storms could have some damaging winds, and the way that the atmosphere is setting up today, turning winds with height could mean storms to, could start rotating so cant rule out, the risk is low. Lots to watch, the radar getting more active towards lunchtime, and notice that on the future cast, scattered, hit or miss storms developing, and mid afternoon and notice the evening, Late Afternoon plans, you may be impacted by the storms. Once the sun goes down, the storms will gradually wind down, as well, it will be sticky for sleeping, hold in the 70s overnight, and once this front crosses the area, early tomorrow, less humid air filters in. So turns into a nice day on wednesday, and thursday, were in the upper 80s, but a spot shower may develop in the afternoon, there is another front thats going to be dropping southward, but that is just a reinforcing shot of the less humid air so i into next weekend, right now it is looking dry, and more seasonal, a little cooler at the coastline but all eyes on today, the day is red and well be onboard.
