Weather models continue to be all over the place with the development of storms late Saturday into early Sunday. We will see a southward moving front that will produce showers and thunderstorms. There is enough instability in the atmosphere that a few of these storms could become grumpy.

A taste of fall for next week.

The first full week of August will feel a lot like early fall. A cold front pushing through on Monday will bring some soaking rains to the region, and a cooler air mass. Highs in the 70s expected all next week.
