Discussion
Low pressure will pull away to the northeast today and drag a cold front through the region which will produce lingering showers early this morning. Winds will pick up in intensity later today 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 a few showers to the region on Tuesday night and Wednesday. 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 is likely to be a significant rain event.
