Discussion              

Warmer air on the south side of a warm front will dominate the scene here today and on Wednesday as well and then a cold front will push towards the region from the Ohio Valley.  Ahead of the front, the chance of showers will rise later tomorrow and tomorrow night and the passage of the system on Thursday may be accompanied by a strong to potentially severe thunderstorm. It’ll turn cooler on Friday following the passage of the frontal system with a chilly air mass moving into the northeastern states. High pressure with its origins in Canada will take control of the weather for the weekend and there should be some sunshine on both days; however, it’ll feel quite cool in the shade or during the nights.
