Highs will warm into the 80s again today ahead of an approaching cold front.
Thunderstorms will accompany the frontal boundary with the threat for a few severe storms from mid-afternoon into the evening.
Damaging winds will be the primary concern from storms, but large hail and a few tornadoes will also be possible.
Dry weather will return Tuesday and for much of Wednesday before unsettled conditions return for late week. Warm temperatures will continue throughout the workweek.
