Storms To Start....

Radar is indicating a few showers and thunderstorms across the area this morning.  This is associated with the pesky frontal boundary that has been affecting the region over the past few days.

GRLevel 2 Base Reflectivity at 9:26 AM EDT
Showers and thunderstorms will be possible through the day with the aforementioned boundary.  Highs will be in the mid to upper 80s.  Tomorrow expect a drier day with only a slight chance of a storm in the higher terrain.  Highs will be in the lower 90s.  Thursday expect a increased chances of showers and thunderstorms with approaching cold front and upper level trough.  Friday expect frontal boundary to move through the region giving way to showers and thunderstorms with highs in the mid to upper 80s.  This system is forecast to be one of the stronger upper level systems we have seen in quiet some time.  This system could cause some severe weather and I will be monitoring the possibilities across the area over the next few days.
