Discussion
It looks like quite an unsettled weather pattern around here for the next 7 days or so with multiple rounds of showers and thunderstorms. The cool frontal system that passed through the region on Thursday will stall out just to our south later today and return north as a warm front by early tomorrow. As a result, clouds will thicken up tonight and showers are possible after midnight along with the threat of a thunderstorm as the warm front arrives. On Saturday, early clouds and possible showers will give way to much warmer and more humid conditions as very warm air floods the region and then strong thunderstorms could develop late in the day and tomorrow night as the same front begins to turn around as a southward-moving cool front. This cool front will slide south of here on Sunday bringing much cooler air back into the region and the threat for showers will continue. In fact, there will be chances for showers and thunderstorms for much of next week as the unsettled pattern takes hold.
