Forecast Discussion
A front moved southeastward across our region Monday. It now stretches from the Carolina Coast to the Central Plains. Areas of high pressure is centered in the Great Lakes and in the Gulf. Only subtle changes occur this week as the front sinks south, but then back to the north this weekend.
Tuesday was remarkably cool and cloudy with areas of fog and scattered afternoon showers. Showers remain possible through evening and fog is still in play overnight.
Wednesday through Saturday have a mix of clouds and sun, gradually warmer temperatures (back toward seasonal norms), and the potential for a showers or thundershower each day (but less coverage than today).
As the stalled front edges back to the north during the weekend, a second front presses slowly southward into the Ohio Valley. Temperatures Sunday and Monday will be a degree or two warmer with increased afternoon shower and thunderstorm coverage that extends more into the nighttime hours.
