Discussion

A cold front moves across the region today and with it some additional shower activity; primarily, across the north/northeast suburbs. Skies will clear later today and tonight and Wednesday should feature plenty of sunshine as high pressure builds into the Mid-Atlantic. Another cold front heads this way at the end of the week and this system could lead to an unsettled Father’s Day weekend with the chance of showers on both days.
