Much of the same expected heading into Wednesday.

By the end of the week, the pattern will once again turn unsettled as a frontal trough interacts with increasing low-level moisture at the surface.

Plan on scattered storm chances Thursday thru at least the upcoming weekend.

Have a great week!

TROPICS

No new developments expected in the Atlantic basin at least over the next 5 days.
