Discussion              

A strong cool front passed through the region late yesterday and today will be slightly cooler and a lot quieter.  High pressure will build into the area today and it should provide decent weather into the weekend, but then a complex of disturbances will bring about some changes by early next week.  The threat of showers will increase again by Sunday night and the coldest air mass of the season should spin its way into the northeastern states for Tuesday and Wednesday of next week.  In fact, lake effect snow showers could develop during the first half of next week for the first time this season in the Great Lakes and Northeast US.
