It appears that we have one more day of downpour and thunderstorm risk on Tuesday as the upper air storm to the west begins to move eastward and weaken. This will likely trigger off some additional downpours and thunderstorms during Tuesday into Tuesday evening with temperatures into the 80s. Then finally some improvement arrives Wednesday and Thursday with sunshine. It will be hot though since the air to the west is not a cool shot from Canada but warm air from the Plains. Highs could reach 90 or better in some places. However we think that while Wednesday and Thursday will be hot they should be thunderstorm free.
