After a weekend of seemingly never-ending round of showers, storms, heavy rain and localized flooding, the pattern finally flips to start the work week. Clouds break Monday with highs in the mid 80s. There is a chance for isolated showers lingering across southeastern counties, but most will stay dry. The heat slowly builds through midweek as high pressure takes control. Expect mostly sunny skies and highs in the upper 80s Tuesday and around 90° Wednesday.

A cold front slowly settles into the Ohio Valley early this weekend and briefly stalls, firing multiple rounds of showers and storms on and off Friday and Saturday. While the overall severe storm threat remains very low, we'll need to watch for storms that can produce damaging wind. The bigger issue is heavy rain. Waves of showers and storms will soak the Commonwealth and areas that see repeated rounds could see localized flash flooding.

We've hit the middle of the week and your Stormtracker forecast stays the same, warm and muggy with scattered showers and storms mainly in the afternoon. Heading into the end of the week, the chance for active weather slowly ramps up. Expect more scattered showers and storms Thursday afternoon with locally heavy rain possible. A cold front settles south and briefly stalls this weekend, sparking more widespread showers and storms coming in waves.
