GENERAL OUTLOOK
A warm front lifts north across the area today before a cold front tracks out of the west on Monday. These two systems will act to increase shower and thunderstorm chances, as well as the humidity. Strong to severe storms will be possible each afternoon and evening. Heat indices should climb into the triple digits east of the mountains, especially on Monday. The front looks to stall just south and east of the forecast area Tuesday into Wednesday leading to drier conditions. Shower and thunderstorm chances return for Thursday.
