Temps to start today are about as cool as you will ever find them in June. Lows reach the upper 40s and low 50s this morning before rebounding into the 75-80 degree range this afternoon. Skies are nice overall with some clouds increasing late.
This is ahead of a weak front dropping in tonight with a broken line of showers and storms…
That boundary slides back to the north quickly on Wednesday as warmer winds kick in from the southwest. There’s a slight chance for a storm or two around, but most of the action appears to be holding off until late Wednesday night and Thursday.
