Showers and storms today/ tonight... pleasant airmass tomorrow...

Our much-discussed cold front will finally press into the region today. The result will be showers and storms at times, mainly this afternoon and then extending into portions of tonight.

There are more winds aloft in play with this front than you normally see in mid-July, so the result will be a heightened risk of damaging winds with the storms today. Please heed severe thunderstorm warnings as they are issued.

Following this front, a pleasant mid-July airmass will arrive with dewpoints dropping into the 50s for many in the region (maybe even upper 40s for some). Highs will be in the 80s tomorrow and Thursday, and that will spell nice weather for this time of year.

Here's the video with all of the details:
