Discussion

A warm front is advancing through the area this morning and a cold frontal system will inch its way across the region later tomorrow before stalling out just to the south of here. Low pressure will develop along the frontal boundary zone on Thursday and then another front slides through at week’s end. As the cold front begins its approach to the area later today, the chance of scattered afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms will increase and some of the storms can be strong. The best chance for rain later today and early tonight will likely be along and to the northwest of Route I-95. The low pressure system will enhance the chance for some steadier and soaking rainfall around here from late Wednesday night into early Friday with an inch or more of rainfall on the table.
