Discussion              

A couple of frontal systems will influence our weather during the next couple of days and occasional rain or drizzle will be the result. First, a warm front will head in this direction from our southwest and occasional rain or drizzle will fall through tonight and some patchy fog is possible as well. It turns milder on Wednesday following the passage of the warm front, but a second front can cause additional showers in the PM hours.  It turns colder late in the week and low pressure could produce some rain here later Friday which can mix with or change to snow by the early part of the upcoming weekend.
