.DISCUSSION...
Showers and thunderstorms remain in the forecast this week as
high pressure near Bermuda maintains a warm and moist air mass
over the region. However, the lack of a large scale trigger to
enhance thunderstorm development should keep chances on the lower
end, 20 to 40 percent, on both Tuesday and Wednesday. The
combination of heat and humidity will result in heat index values
in the upper 90s to around 100 degrees each afternoon. A cold
front is expected to move into the region late Thursday into
Thursday night and this should be our best chance for showers and
thunderstorms during the next week, though rain chances will
continue into the upcoming weekend.
Fog Potential Tonight: Fog is not expected.
