Discussion
Low pressure over the Great Lakes region will intensify today and a trailing cold front will approach our area from the northwest. The approach of the front will increase the chance of showers and thunderstorms around here by day's end and it'll keep it unsettled tonight and on Thursday as it drags very slowly through the region. A cooler-than-normal air mass will push into the region early this weekend resulting in more comfortable weather conditions on Saturday and Sunday and the cooler-than-normal weather will stick around into the early part of next week. With cooler air aloft, the weekend and early part of next week will become somewhat unsettled and showers will likely be a threat on Saturday, Sunday and Monday.
