2) The next chance for showers/thunderstorms returns Monday afternoon and evening, and may persist each day through Thursday.

DISCUSSION

KEY MESSAGE 1
The forecast area will reside in the westerlies through the upcoming week with a series of shortwave troughs swinging through the area. While the vertical temperature profile changes little into early next week with 85H temps holding close to 18C, a deep-layered westerly flow should be able to mix down some drier air into the low levels. While the NBM has done well of late with surface dew points, it is often too deficient in a westerly flow. For dew points Sunday into Monday stayed below the NBM and weighted toward MOS. This keeps heat indices generally below 95. Thus, plan to hold off on extending the heat advisory into Sunday. Regardless, it would be very marginal, perhaps touching 95 in a few spots.

Temperatures and heat indices will lower Tuesday through mid week.

KEY MESSAGE 2
Scattered showers and thunderstorms will return to the forecast Monday afternoon/evening. The air mass is not as humid on Monday, but increasing mid level flow may support an isolated severe thunderstorm, mainly in NJ. A frontal system slowly moving across the area Tuesday into mid week supporting continued chances for showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon and evening.
