Discussion    

High pressure will be in control today, but this will no doubt turn out to be quite an active week of weather.  It looks like a soaking rain event is on the way for Tuesday night and Wednesday and then more rain is likely during the second half of the week.  Low pressure will approach the area later tomorrow and a second one arrives on Thursday along a strong cold frontal system.  Following the passage of the cold front, a colder-than-normal air mass will arrive for the end of the week and stick around into the weekend.
