Discussion

A cold front passed through the region last night and high pressure will take control around here for the next couple of days resulting in overall nice weather conditions. Another cold front will approach the region on Friday and then likely stall out near here this weekend. Perhaps not surprisingly, the weekend is likely to become quite unsettled (once again) given the nearby frontal boundary zone and showers and thunderstorms are likely to threaten for at least part of the time. Strong high pressure to our north is likely to push the stalled out frontal boundary zone southward early next week resulting in improving weather conditions.
