Discussion
High pressure has taken control of our weather and will result in milder conditions around here as we head into the weekend. Low-level winds will shift to a southerly direction today as the high shifts off the eastern seaboard and we’ll stay mild on both weekend days just ahead of the next cold frontal system. The weekend cold frontal passage will be accompanied by a few showers and then a colder air mass will build into the region early next week. The overall weather pattern will remain very active next week with two storm threats to monitor - one on Monday and the second on Wednesday - and enough cold air will be around to allow for the possibility of snow getting involved especially at mid-week.
