Our first round of showers are already starting to develop across the south, courtesy of a warm front pushing northeast from the mid Atlantic states. With it we'll continue to see showers, downpours and possible embedded thunderstorms affecting much of the region Monday afternoon and through the evening.

In-depth news coverage of the Greater Boston and New England area.
Our warm-up rebounds temperatures to the 80s by Tuesday and climbs to the upper 80s - low 90s through the rest of the week.
Our precipitation amounts should still bring in about another inch or two under the heaviest downpours added by Tuesday morning.
The wind is not a widespread high risk Monday afternoon, but scattered thunderstorms accompanied by stronger winds roll through Tuesday afternoon. They’ll develop west in advance east from the afternoon through the evening hours. A First Alert stamp has been added to Tuesday's forecast on NECN because of the storm potential.
While southern New England keeps the overcast conditions, redeveloping fog will form and reduce visibilities down to 0 miles for some and up to a quarter of a mile in our northern valleys. While the visibility will improve by mid to late morning, we'll be tracking our second round of rain — this time, there's a higher potential for storms.
We're likely to watch most of the storms marching through Massachusetts and grabbing strength as they shift east over and near Boston. Manchester through Plymouth, New Hampshire, will also watch for scattered storms. The strongest cells could bring localized strong wind gusts with them and another shot of brief but heavy rainfall.
Temperatures Tuesday begin to rise into the low 80s, but Wednesday brings a significant change in our temperatures, setting us up for the full summer vibes. Highs will climb into the upper 80s through the rest of the work week, while some will see 90s on the thermometer through the afternoons.
Humidity will hang on through Wednesday and decrease somewhat for Thursday. Friday sets us up for another chance of showers and possible storms. Next weekend brings a high pressure system and cooler temperatures.
