Surface high pressure has dominated much of the region since the weekend and is currently positioned just to our east. Eventually the high pressure will work towards the east as another cold front will begin to approach our area from the northwest. By Tuesday afternoon, the cold front will be stretched from the Great Lakes region southwestward, towards parts of northeast Texas, and approaching the lower Ohio Valley. Conditions across the area will be relatively warm with strong southerly winds from the southwest as breezy/warm conditions will prevail for your Tuesday. The cold front will continue to track towards the east and will cross the area Tuesday night bringing a chance for rain and scattered thunderstorms. Most convection should remain post frontal, so the likelihood of severe weather looks grim. Main threats continue to be gusty winds with a moderate rainfall event with amounts of 0.5-1.0 inch area wide Tuesday night/Wednesday.
