Discussion

Clouds will increase here today ahead of an approaching cold front which will bring us some beneficial rainfall from tonight into early Wednesday...perhaps a thunderstorm included in the mix. The unseasonably warm temperatures that started the week will be replaced by noticeably cooler conditions for the second half as Canadian high pressure takes control following the cold frontal passage. In fact, the first frost of the season will be possible on Thursday night in some suburban locations with overnight lows in the 30’s. Strong low pressure is likely to form over the western Atlantic Ocean later this weekend and threaten the Carolinas with some heavy rainfall and strong winds…potentially a threat northward into the Mid-Atlantic region.
