Discussion              

A cold front slipped through the region in the overnight hours and today will feature occasional showers as was the case on Thursday, but it’ll become noticeably cooler with the development of a northerly low level wind. There can be a thunderstorm or two as well through tonight and some of the rain during the next 24 hours can be heavy at times. The unsettled weather will continue on Saturday as low pressure pushes along a nearly stationary frontal boundary zone and it’ll bring more rain to the area and maybe another thunderstorm or two.  High pressure pushes in for the second half of the weekend and sunshine should return booting temperatures to slightly milder levels by Sunday afternoon.
