Discussion
The overall active weather pattern will continue for at least another week or so with multiple chances of rain and there will be additional cold air outbreaks in the central and eastern US. A strong cold front will approach the region today causing shower activity and there can be a strong-to-severe thunderstorm with damaging winds and hail a threat. Following the passage of the cold front, much colder air will return late tonight on stiff NW winds and temperatures will once again drop way down into the lower 30’s for overnight lows which is way below-normal for this time of year. Another low pressure system is likely to impact the region with more rain later Thursday and Thursday night and yet another storm could follow over the upcoming weekend. The weekend storm will be followed by another cold air outbreak for the early part of next week.
