Updated weekend forecast 6/9/10
1. Leftovers of the front dying out over the region today will lift northward throughout the week allowing for more muggy and hot air to stream back north into our region. However this will allow for a chance for pop up afternoon storms as well. These storms may produce locally hvy rains. I expect highs to be near 90 or in the low 90’s throughout the region each day through Saturday.
2. By Sunday and Monday the next cold front approaches with a higher chance of storms and slightly cooler weather by Sunday night.
