Discussion
Our extended stretch of warm and rain-free weather is about to come to an end as some decent rain should fall from later tomorrow into Thursday and then it’ll turn cooler as we end the work week. A slow-moving cold front will be the culprit behind the mid-week rain event and then high pressure that follows will anchor a cooler air mass compared to recent days. After a cool, dry start to the weekend, another low pressure system could impact the area with more rainfall on Saturday night and Sunday morning and this system could get a boost from leftover moisture associated with Tropical Storm Eta.
