HEADLINE: Tuesday temperatures will once again be on the warm/hot side. We will monitor an increase in moisture towards the end of the week and into the weekend. Would not be surprised to see thunderstorm chances increase through the week/weekend. A few heavy storms not out of the question.

How much above normal will high temperatures be tomorrow? Several degrees! The map below shows you the departure from normal highs (normal highs are around 79-82 degrees). For example if the normal high is 80 degrees and the actual high is 90 degrees then we would be 10 degrees above normal. You can find this map on the web-site, as well - click here.

There is an area of interest in the Caribbean. The main concern is flash flooding over some of the islands. This disturbance will move slowly north/northwest in the coming days. Some slow development is not out of the question..
You can view images of the Caribbean by clicking here - we have a variety of satellite images available for you.

1. Temperatures will moderate a bit later this week and weekend.
2. Perhaps some more active weather as we push towards the middle/end of the week.
.
3. Keep in mind that my summer forecast is for an early start to summer (what we are seeing right now) and then we level off some as the ridge of high pressure shifts west into the southwest United States. That would leave us with more NW flow events - meaning our systems will move in from the St Louis region - heavy thunderstorms and squall lines. .
Drought continues to our south and southwest. We will continue to monitor that region and the tropics for any changes.You can also find me on Twitter under Beau Dodson
