Warmer, muggier to start the week
Regardless of clouds and isolated showers, this weekend ended up being quite pleasant. The sun was out slightly more than anticipated, and heavy/steady rain generally stayed away from the area. So did the big time heat and humidity, and unfortunately the latter will return to the forecast during this week. Humidity values have already noticeably increased as of Monday afternoon, and rising temperatures will make the air feel uncomfortable this afternoon. Scattered showers and storms will be around, but won’t be widespread.
These showers and storms, a function of a transient mid level atmospheric disturbance, will essentially hang around in the forecast for most of the week. While temperatures won’t be “hot” by any means (they’ll top out in the 80’s for the most part), the general airmass will feel uncomfortable and the weather will remain unsettled. Scattered showers and storms will be possible each afternoon within the humid and slightly unstable airmass in place.
