Discussion              

A cold front pushed through the region late yesterday and today will turn out to be noticeably colder with mainly cloudy skies. Rain is likely to develop this afternoon as low pressure pushes to our northwest and there is an outside chance that sleet mixes in at the onset.  Following the passage of a warm front, temperatures should jump on Thursday well up into the 60’s with partly sunny skies and breezy conditions. Another cold front passes through the region tomorrow night ushering in colder and very windy conditions for Thursday night and Friday. Low pressure could produce some snow shower activity around here on Saturday, but the moisture content for this system appears to be limited.
