Hot Weather Brings a Shot at Storms Out East

Guess who's back. The heat and humidity will turn up a notch to kick off the week. Some areas will feel close to 100 when you factor in the humidity. As we've seen plenty so far this year, heat and humidity can power some serious storms in the afternoon and evening hours. All we need is something to light the fuse.

A cold front will drop in, helping focus thunderstorm chances each of the next 3 days. The most widespread threat appears to be Monday and Tuesday, however.

Timing will tend to favor the afternoon-evening hours, when temperatures peak. Damaging winds will be the leading threat to watch out for, but some small hail and a brief tornado couldn't be ruled out.
