Astronomical summer begins this coming Sunday at 4:24AM, but summer weather will be here for much of the week.

We start off the week with a cold front pushing offshore this morning, taking the last of the showers and thunderstorms with it. Behind that front, high pressure builds in with seasonably mild temperatures, lower humidity, and a good amount of sunshine for today and Tuesday. By Wednesday, we’ll be watching a low pressure area heading into the Great Lakes. It will send a warm front our way at night, with some clouds moving in ahead of it, but the day itself will be mostly dry and seasonably warm. A few showers and thunderstorms may accompany the warm front Wednesday night, but the more noticeable effect will be an increase in humidity levels once again. Thursday could be an active day as low pressure moves into southern Canada, dragging a cold front across the region. With a warm and humid airmass in place, the front could trigger showers and thunderstorms during the daytime, with the potential for some of them to become strong to severe later in the day. Right now it’s just potential, but the ingredients are forecast by some of the models to be in place for some severe storms. This is something we’ll be keeping an eye on over the next few days. High pressure builds in behind the front with cooler and drier conditions for Friday and the weekend.
