Discussion
A cold front passed through the region late yesterday and the result today will be quieter weather and very comfortable temperatures with afternoon highs near the 80 degree mark. This same front will turn around and push northward as a warm front later on Thursday and our temperatures are likely to spike into the 90’s for afternoon highs. After that, we’ll monitor the remains of Hurricane Laura as they could push northward into the south-central US later in the week and then eastward this weekend into the Mid-Atlantic region – potentially resulting in some heavy rainfall around here on Saturday and possible severe weather.
