.DISCUSSION...

Unseasonably rich moisture will keep relative humidity values
generally on the higher side through this week, along with daily
chances for thunderstorms. Moisture is expected to be deep enough for
some storms to generate locally heavy rain.

Temperatures may heat back up by mid week as high pressure builds
nearly overhead, however we should keep some storm chances around.
