Discussion              

The passage of a warm front will result in a dramatic temperature surge around here this afternoon with afternoon highs likely to be close to the 80 degree mark…perhaps even a record-breaker.  A cold front pushes through later tonight and it will result in windy and noticeably cooler conditions for the end of the work week.  It remains quite chilly on Saturday and weak low pressure can produce some snow and/or rain shower activity in the region, but its moisture content will be rather limited. Another system could bring us some additional precipitation during the early part of next week.
