WIDESPREAD SHOWERS TO PERSIST AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT THAT IS

INSTABILITY AHEAD OF THE FRONT, RESULTING FROM HIGHER DEWPOINT
VALUES AND AN APPROACHING UPPER-TROUGH, WILL ALLOW FOR A FEW
THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON DURING THE TIME OF PEAK HEATING.
CEILINGS TO CLEAR FROM THE NORTHWEST THIS EVENING AS HIGH PRESSURE
REBUILDS BEHIND THE FRONT. THE COLDEST TEMPERATURES OF THE
FORECAST PERIOD WILL BE WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY WITH HIGHS
AVERAGING IN THE UPPER 50S AND LOWS IN THE 30S, WITH SLIGHTLY
BELOW FREEZING TEMPERATURES EXPECTED THURSDAY MORNING ACROSS MOST
OF THE REGION.
A WARMING TREND IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN ON THURSDAY AS THE SURFACE

EXPECTED, RANGING FROM HIGHS IN THE 70S TO LOWS IN THE 40S. NOT
MUCH VARIATION IN OVERALL TEMPERATURE PROFILE EXPECTED THROUGH
THE WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK AS A SERIES OF DRY FRONTAL
BOUNDARIES ALLOW FOR CONTINUED MILD AIRMASS EXCHANGES. OTHERWISE,
