Discussion

Low pressure will track to our north today and drag a cold front through the region and then another low pressure system will ride up and along the frontal boundary zone on Tuesday. As a result, the week will start on an unsettled note with occasional rain today, tonight and Tuesday. High pressure will arrive at mid-week and then we’ll have to watch for yet another system as it pulls out of the southwest and heads in this direction likely with more rainfall on Wednesday night and Thursday with an outside chance that it begins briefly as a wintry mix. An impressive cold air outbreak will arrive here on Friday and it'll stay quite cold to begin the upcoming weekend.
