Discussion
A slow-moving cold front is approaching the region and it will generate showers from later today into early Wednesday and some of the rain will be heavy at times. After some clearing later tomorrow, Thursday’s weather will start off nice, but then another cold frontal system will combine with weak low pressure to generate more showers later Thursday night into early Friday. High pressure will settle in for the weekend with a chilly air mass for this time of year, and then another storm system threatens us for the early part of next week.
