Discussion              

An active weather pattern will bring us multiple chances for rain in coming days with the first opportunity coming today into early tonight as a cool front passes through the region.  High pressure will build back into the area on Thursday providing us with decent weather; however, this break in the action will be rather short-lived.  Low pressure will bring more rain here from Friday into Saturday and then an even stronger system could result in a soaking rain event from later Sunday into Monday.
