Discussion
High pressure will lose its influence around here later today as a low pressure system over the Mississippi Valley heads northeastward towards the Great Lakes. This low pressure system will lead to a warm frontal passage here on Saturday and then it will drag a cool front through the region late in the day on Sunday. As a result, there will be occasional rain and possible thunderstorms from this morning into tomorrow night and some of the rain will be heavy at times. Another round of showers and thunderstorms is possible later Sunday as the cool front arrives. Large and strong high pressure centered over the Great Lakes early next week will control the weather around here and the result will likely be a spectacular Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday with very comfortable conditions for late June.
