Isolated AM Convection; Another Hot Day

(Tuesday, Jun 2, 2009) – Weak disturbances contributed to the development of isolated thunderstorms this morning.  This is expected to be the pattern throughout the day.  Upper level winds will provide the push necessary for a cold front to arrive late Wednesday.  Rain chances will go up significantly Wednesday and Wednesday night.  Look for another hot day today:  lower 90s!
