Weather Story

Cooler Friday into the weekend, with the chance for showers at times.

Scattered showers and thunderstorms quickly move through the region early tonight as a cold front crosses. A few storms could be on the strong side with gusty winds and locally heavy rain. Drier conditions move in for the remainder of the night, although isolated showers remain possible for some locations. Cooler weather will follow the system, but upper level disturbances crossing during the afternoon on Friday and Saturday will bring showers and perhaps thunderstorms. Severe weather or flooding is not expected, however. High pressure will bring dry weather to finish out the weekend on Mother's Day. The dry weather will last into Monday, before the next low pressure system brings active weather, with a warming trend, heading into the middle of next week.
