High pressure will push east allowing a cold front to reach the area
late Sunday night into Monday, with a second cold front pushing east
by Tuesday. Models also indicate an upper level trough should
build across the region late in the period.

Expect precipitation chances will increase from the west Sunday
night with unsettled weather through the remainder of the period.

Temperatures aloft will become quite cool/cold with the trough
building in. However, surface temperatures should act to keep
the precipitation in the form of a cold rain.
