.DISCUSSION...
A cold front will exit to the east of the area this evening,
with rain showers ending from west to east. Another trough will
pass over the eastern Great Lakes Saturday with scattered
showers. A few of these showers may produce some small hail or
graupel. Dry weather will return Sunday through much of Tuesday
as high pressure builds east across the Ohio Valley and Mid
Atlantic. Cool temperatures and gusty winds this weekend will
give way to a warming trend early next week.
