Discussion              

High pressure will remain in control of the weather around here for another day and then the most active weather day this week will take place on Thursday with the arrival of a strong cold front. Occasional showers are likely from Thursday into Thursday night, some of the rain can be hard at times, and strong wind gusts are possible. In addition, scattered thunderstorms are possible as the cold front works its way through the region. A cool air mass will follow the frontal passage for Friday and Saturday and then an even colder air mass could rotate into the northeastern states early next week.
