anticipated as high pressure dominates the region. Shower and
thunderstorm chances increase heading into tonight ahead of an upper-
level disturbance and cold front that will track through the region
tomorrow. Additional showers and thunderstorms, some potentially
becoming severe, are anticipated across much of the region tomorrow
along and ahead of the front. Dry, seasonable weather then returns
for the weekend before Summer-like heat can be expected early next
