Discussion
There will be a brief break in the action today from our recent wet weather pattern with a pretty nice day in store and high pressure building into the region. However, another unsettled and wet period begins late tonight and continues into the upcoming weekend. Low pressure will ride along an approaching cold frontal system on Friday and there can be showers associated with it from late tonight into early Friday. This front will stall to our south by the beginning of the weekend and then turn around and come back north as a warm front. As a result, more rain is likely on Saturday and then as a cold front approaches late in the weekend, additional showers will be possible on Sunday. There is the threat for another storm by the middle of next week which could become quite strong and expansive and potentially have an impact on much of the eastern third of the nation.
