Thursday and then again on Thursday night. By Friday, a cold
front should approach with widespread showers and thunderstorms
expected during the afternoon and evening. Southwesterly winds are
expected ahead of the front with northeasterly flow behind it. As
we get into the weekend and early next week, daily chances at
widespread rainfall are expected.

Fog Potential through Tonight: Patchy fog possible, mainly
near bodies of water.
