Discussion
High pressure will remain in control of the weather around here into the weekend, but a couple of fronts will bring us some rainfall from later tomorrow into Sunday. Tropical moisture from the Gulf of Mexico will merge with an eastward moving cold front over the next couple of days and produce significant rainfall from the northern Gulf to the Ohio Valley. As low pressure pulls to our northwest along the cold frontal boundary zone, a warm front will push northward later in the day on Saturday. This front could bring some scattered shower activity to the region late tomorrow and tomorrow night and then the cold front will close in from west-to-east during the day on Sunday with occasional rain likely and it can be heavy at times. The low pressure will push off the coast on Sunday night paving the way for drier conditions as we begin the new work week.
