Discussion
The day will begin with weak high pressure in control, but a frontal system will approach the region late and this will raise the chance for afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms. With a couple of nearby frontal systems this weekend, both days should feature plenty of clouds and the continuing chance of showers and thunderstorms. It’ll remain unsettled going into the early part of next week with an additional frontal system dropping into the area from our northwest.
