.DISCUSSION...
Unsettled conditions remain into mid week as broad low pressure
slowly tracks east. This will include multiple chances of showers
across the area, but little confidence in widespread wetting rain
outside of isolated showers or storms. Dry weather seems likely
late this week and weekend as high pressure passes through the
region.
