Discussion
One cold front passed through the region on Tuesday night and a second front will arrive here late tonight. Showers are likely as this front arrives late tonight as weak low pressure forms along the frontal boundary zone. The passage of this second cold front will bring a cool air mass into the region for the Friday, Saturday, and Sunday time period with generally rain-free conditions. There is the threat for more rain late Sunday night or Monday as low pressure tries to form along the east coast. As the central and eastern states experience a chill down in coming days, the western states will get hotter and stay rain-free and this will increase the threat for wildfires.
