Discussion

A frontal system will stall nearby to our south later today and this boundary zone will act as a pathway for low pressure systems during the latter part of the week and weekend. As a result, the weather will remain quite unsettled around here and there will be multiple chances for showers and thunderstorms as we head to the end of the week and weekend - and some of the rain is likely to be heavy at times. As far as temperatures are concerned, they will slacken off by Friday as we'll be dealing with lots of clouds and occasional rainfall. In fact, temperatures should hold in the 80's on Friday, Saturday and Sunday and even into the early part of next week.
