A cold front has been slowly approaching the city since last night. The front is going to take all day and probably all night to move completely through the area. Little waves of low pressure like to surf along the frontal boundary. Those waves are likely to kick off showers and thunderstorms from now until tomorrow night. Given how thick the air is with moisture, some of those storms are going to contain periods of intense rain, gusty winds and possibly hail. The likelihood of intense rains has cautioned the issuing of a flash flood watch this afternoon through tomorrow. More ominously, as the day progresses conditions might approach those needed to produce an isolated tornado. The high today will be in the sticky low 80s.
