.DISCUSSION...
A cold front will cross the region this afternoon with showers and
thunderstorms. Weak high pressure will then allow with fair weather
to return tonight with the finest weather of the weekend slated for
Sunday. Looking at the end of the long Memorial Day weekend...a
complex storm system over the Upper Great Lakes will support very
unsettled weather for Monday...including the potential for drenching
thunderstorms.
