Discussion
Low pressure will pull away to the northeast today and drag a cold front through the region which will result in clouds and lingering showers giving way to some sunshine. Winds will pick up in intensity out of the NW as drier, colder air moves in following the frontal passage and gusts to 50 mph are possible. It’ll stay dry on Tuesday, but a warm front could bring some clouds our way on Tuesday night. A strong low pressure system and its attendant frontal systems will likely bring another round of rain and thunderstorms here at week’s end and this could be a significant rain event.
