Discussion

Our extended stretch of warm and rain-free weather is about to come to an end as a soaking rain event should take place from tomorrow into Thursday and then it’ll turn noticeably cooler as we end the work week. A slow-moving cold front will be the culprit behind the mid-week soaking rain event and then high pressure that follows will anchor a cooler air mass. After a cool, dry start to the weekend, another low pressure system could impact the area with more rainfall on Sunday and this system could contain some leftover moisture from Eta.
