Discussion
A cold front pushed through the region late yesterday and today will turn out to be cooler with mainly cloudy skies. Rain is likely by later in the morning or early this afternoon as low pressure pushes to our northwest and a warm front approaches from our southwest. Following the passage of a warm front, temperatures should jump dramatically on Thursday - well up into the 70’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.
