.DISCUSSION...
Strong cold air damming continues across the forecast area today
which will result in low clouds and areas of showers or drizzle,
especially across the northern and western Midlands. Some clearing
is possible across the southern and eastern Midlands and CSRA
during the afternoon and evening hours. Winds will generally be
out of the northeast and east until tonight when a warm front
lifts through the region causing a shift to the south.
A strong cold front sweeps through the region on Thursday with
increasing south to southwesterly winds ahead of the boundary,
followed by a wind shift to the west and eventually northwest
Thursday night. The front will be accompanied by a period of rain
and perhaps a thunderstorm or two. Friday is cooler but dry
followed by another chance for showers on Saturday. Another
strong cold front passes through the region on Sunday with rain
and breezy conditions expected.
Fog Potential: Possible, especially this morning.
