Generally quiet weather is expected through at least midweek with only slight chances for showers and thunderstorms in an otherwise low-amplitude weather pattern. A warm and more humid air mass will gradually build over the region from Wednesday onward, resulting in an increase in afternoon showers and thunderstorms.
