Discussion              

The weather will improve today with early day clouds and showers giving way to some sunshine…better enjoy it as back-to-back soaking rain events are on the for Friday/Saturday and Sunday/Monday. High pressure will build back into the area today, but its influence will be short-lived.  A series of low pressure systems will pass through the area from tomorrow into early next week providing us multiple rounds of rain.  In addition to the rain, this wet spell will generally be on the cool side with temperatures below-normal and it’ll be quite windy for much of the time. Unusually cool air for the beginning of May will follow on the heels of the second storm system for the first half of next week.
