Synopsis:
High pressure will lose it’s influence over the region this weekend-this last weekend of Summer, Fall arrives on Thursday. We’ll squeeze out one more beauty today. By Sunday a moisture laden Southerly flow ahead of a weakening cool front will produce scattered showers, mainly in the afternoon. The showers won’t be widespread so it won’t be raining all the time.
The front will slow down on Monday continuing the threat of showers and possibly a thunderstorm.
