    Cold front crosses the area later today. Most of the shower & storm activity is isolated to the Mississippi River Valley, inside those yellow watch boxes. We spend much of the day dry with highs in the mid 80s under party cloudy skies. A few broken showers and storms may fire along the frontal boundary later this afternoon & evening. We'll continue to see breezy conditions into tonight. But strong high pressure will build into the area tonight, providing clearing skies though the end of June.

     Lows tonight will be in the upper 50s. Scattered fog will develop early Wednesday. Otherwise lots of sunshine is in store Wednesday and Thursday. Dewpoints will be in the low 50s. Temps will range from low 80s during the day to low to mid 50s at night.

    Moisture will begin to creep back into the forecast as a warm front Friday. A few showers & storms are possible as things warm up during the day Friday. A couple of shortwave disturbances will skirt the area Saturday, leaving us open for a few pop up showers and storms Saturday into Sunday. Things will really warm up as we transition from June to July. How do you like highs in the low 90s, lows in the 70s? For now, we'll keep a slight chance of showers and thunder for the holiday.
