.DISCUSSION...
A cold front moving through the region tonight into tomorrow will
provide a chance for wetting rains, although coverage looks
fairly scattered at best. Much cooler, less humid, and dry weather
arrives Friday through the weekend. Another chance for wetting
rains arrives Monday through Wednesday next week. Winds become
northerly on Friday behind the frontal passage. They increase
Friday and Saturday as they become northeasterly. Mixing will
also be deeper these two days resulting in good dispersion.
