Wx Summary
A frontal system has cleared through the area, leaving us with some clouds and sun today. There is the risk for an isolated shower or storm this afternoon, but skies should become partly cloudy overnight. the workweek starts off dry, but by Tuesday night we’ll see the risk for some showers and storms return. Those continue into Wednesday, with many of us seeing rain from that system. Thursday is looking drier and less humid.
An area of low pressure is expected to develop along the northern Gulf Coast (around Destin) this week and could develop into a tropical storm. At this time, that is not expected to impact us, but I’ll keep an eye on that.
