Text book style weather changes on the way the next few days. They go this way…
Warm front approaches Thursday so sun will eventually have to yield to some cloudiness.
Warm front passes Thursday night and introduces an early-season tropical air mass on southerly winds.
The southerly flow gets stronger during Friday which will be a mostly cloudy day with a slight chance of passing showers and very mild and rather humid air.
Cold front approaches Friday night with a ribbon of heavier showers and possible thunderstorms approaching from the west but holding off until after midnight for much of the region. It will also be breezy and quite mild all night.
Cold front slowly passes through Saturday morning with rain ribbon slowly moving out from west to east while sliding northeastward. Clearing line approaches from the west and the natural progression of sun-in-sky to westward while clearing line moves eastward means that a day that starts grey and wet will end bright and drier, but also cooler.
High pressure builds in Saturday night & Sunday with dry, cool weather.
Early to middle part of next week will see a slide back toward unsettled weather as an upper trough approaches from the west.
