Discussion
An energetic weather pattern is evolving and we’ll have to deal with multiple systems over the next several days. A warm front resulted in some steady light rain around here in the overnight hours, but this has diminished to just a threat of isolated showers for the next several hours. More rain is likely tonight and Saturday as low pressure forms nearby and a cold front advances towards the region. It'll turn windy and colder tomorrow night and there can be a snow shower late at night and then Sunday should be a dry day with breezy and cold conditions. Another system will have to be watched for late Tuesday as it pulls out of the south-central US and towards the Ohio Valley/Mid-Atlantic. That system can bring snow or rain to the region by Tuesday night and it will usher in another cold air mass for the middle of next week.
