Discussion
A strong cold front passed through the region on Thursday and it’ll remain chilly and increasingly windy as we end the work week with some sunshine followed by increasing clouds. The weekend starts off on the cool, breezy side and then clouds will increase on Sunday ahead of the next cold front. That next cold front will be associated with a powerful Great Lakes storm system and be intense likely resulting in heavy rain and strong winds around here from later Sunday night into Monday night and there is the potential of strong-to-severe thunderstorm activity. Much colder air will follow the cold frontal passage for Tuesday and Wednesday.
