Discussion              

High pressure pushes into the region today generating plenty of sunshine and milder conditions.  Clouds increase tonight ahead of the next frontal system and there can be some late night/Thursday morning shower activity.  It stays quite mild on Thursday, but colder air pushes in for Friday as strong low pressure heads towards the Great Lakes from the south-central states.  Rain is likely here on Friday as the primary low pressure system gives way to a secondary storm off the Mid-Atlantic coastline.
