...A HOT AND HUMID DAY TUESDAY...

A HOT AND HUMID AIRMASS WILL MOVE INTO THE REGION TUESDAY. THE 
COMBINATION OF THE TEMPERATURES AND HUMIDITY WILL RAISE THE HEAT

COLD FRONT IS PUSHING SOUTH FROM CANADA...AND WILL MOVE THROUGH THE

GUSTY WINDS AND HEAVY RAIN.

BEHIND THE FRONT...A COOLER AND DRIER AIRMASS WILL SPREAD IN 
WEDNESDAY AND REMAIN WITH US INTO THE UPCOMING WEEKEND...WHEN WE 
MIGHT SEE THE NEXT CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION.
