Discussion
A cool front will close in on the area today and it will likely be preceded by a couple rounds of showers in our area at just about any time of day and strong-to-severe thunderstorms are also possible later today and early tonight. This same front will then stall to our south late tomorrow and result in unsettled conditions around here this weekend as it meanders back-and-forth. First, the front will return as a warm front on Saturday pushing from south-to-north and then it will then turn around again and try to drop southward a second time as a cool front later Sunday. The proximity of this meandering frontal boundary zone this weekend will raise chances here for showers and thunderstorms on both Saturday and Sunday and some of the rain can be on the heavy side.
