.DISCUSSION...
Today will be warm, but breezy, as warm southwesterly flow increases
out ahead of a cold front approaching from the northwest. The front,
along with several waves of low pressure riding along it, will
provide a soaking rain to the region tonight through Wednesday
night. Cooler temperatures arrive behind the front Thursday with
frost concerns possible Thursday night and Friday morning.
Drier conditions briefly take hold for much of Friday, but
additional disturbances are expected over the weekend.
