Discussion
A strong cool front begins to approach the area later today and then passes through later Wednesday. This frontal system will renew the threat of showers and thunderstorms around here for tonight and Wednesday and, once again, any rain that falls can be on the heavy side and any storm that forms can reach strong-to-severe levels. High pressure will follow the mid-week frontal passage and will generate beautiful weather here for the period of Thursday through Monday. Temperatures in this late week/weekend stretch will generally hold in the 70’s for afternoon highs and 50’s for overnight lows…quite comfortable for the middle of September.
