Discussion
The wet weather pattern of recent days continues today as another low pressure system impacts the region with some rain or drizzle and it'll be quite chilly for this time of year. There will be a brief break in the action on Thursday with a pretty nice day in store as high pressure builds into the region, but then another unsettled period begins on Friday. Low pressure will intensify over the middle of the country over the next few days and a frontal system will extend eastward from this low all the way to the Mid-Atlantic region. This frontal system and its associated low pressure will be the focus area for showers around here from Friday through much of the weekend. Looking ahead, there is the threat for another storm by the middle of next week which could be quite strong and potentially have an impact on much of the eastern third of the nation.
