Warm-Up Begins With Strong Mid-Week Storms

After a chilly weekend, temperatures will warm up for the
beginning of the work week. Highs will range from the mid 70s to
lower 80s through Wednesday, with gusty south winds. This will
result in increased fire weather spread rates, although the
overall threat may be tempered somewhat by recent rainfall and
higher humidity.

A strong storm system will move into the Plains by Wednesday, with
the potential for strong to severe thunderstorms Wednesday
afternoon and evening. A cold front will move in behind this
system on Thursday, with cooler temperatures for the end of the
week.
