 .DISCUSSION...
 Weak high pressure brings dry weather this Fathers Day and first 
 day of summer, with a warm afternoon.
 
 A strong system, especially for the start of summer, arrives tonight 
 and spans through Monday, bringing a threat for showers and 
 strong, heavy thunderstorms, potentially leading to isolated 
 damaging wind gusts and localized flooding, mainly on Monday 
 afternoon. While the primary severe weather hazard is damaging wind 
 gusts, hail and an isolated tornado remain possible.
 
 Drier weather then returns for Tuesday and Wednesday, ahead of 
 another unsettled weather pattern later in the week.
