Discussion
It’ll turn hot and humid today following the passage of a warm front that caused yesterday’s scattered showers and thunderstorms. Temperatures will jump this afternoon to near 90 degrees and should climb just pass 90 on Thursday, Friday and Saturday along with summer-like humidity values. A cold front will then approach the region late in the weekend raising the chances for showers and thunderstorms by Sunday night and temperatures will get knocked down some early next week following the passage of the front.
Elsewhere, a clash of air masses will likely produce severe weather later today and tonight across the mid-section of the country and this will include the risk for tornadoes in places like Oklahoma and Kansas. Some snow is now falling in the highest elevations of Colorado and Wyoming and this colder air mass is sweeping towards very warm and humid air in the central US setting the stage for late day severe weather and that threat will likely continue on Thursday as well in the nation's mid-section.
