Discussion
It’ll turn a bit milder today ahead of a weak cold frontal system, but then cooler again for the next couple of days. A significant cold air outbreak appears to be headed in this direction from central Canada for the end of the work week and, at the same time, moisture is likely to advance to the northeast from the southern states along the frontal boundary zone. There is a Rain is likely late Thursday and Thursday night and there is an outside chance for a few flakes to mix in across the far northern and western suburbs before the precipitation winds down. Whether or not there are a few flakes around, the cold blast coming will be the bigger story and temperatures Friday night will be unusually cold for early November. Another very impressive cold blast for the early season is destined to arrive here early next week.
