Discussion:

A disturbanceΒ is bringing more showers and a few storms to the region. Expect mainly light showers for the morning commute along with some patchy fog. A wedge has set up across the region and will be a key factor in our forecast today. There will likely be a lull in activity this afternoon, and areas south of the wedge will have the greatest instability for storms to fire up. Right now, thinking this will be near and south of I-85. Temps will stay cooler than average within the wedge by 5-10 degrees while reach theΒ low 80s south of the wedge. Damaging wind, hail and localized flooding will be the biggest concerns. More instability in the forecast Wednesday as a cold front approaches the region. Showers and storms will kick up ahead of front leading to an areawide threat of strong to severe storms late afternoon to early evening. Biggest concern will remain damaging wind, large hail and localized flooding. Highs will reach the low 80s. High pressure will build in briefly Thursday leading to drier air, sunny skies and an overall pleasant day. Take advantage of the dry slot. More unsettled weather arrives Friday through the start of the weeke
