Cold air aloft and strong June sunshine helped to generate daytime showers and thunderstorms this weekend. Since the storms were driven by surface heating and in the presense of some vertical wind sheer, some of them produced brief funnel clouds as updrafts are stretched. Our weather maker is finally moving away today, but there are a number of distrubances forecasted to keep our weather unsettled this week.

Good = 18
