FRIDAY Update:  Pattern Change – Wet at Times – Cooler Days

Good Morning!  We’re easing into a somewhat active pattern over the next several days.  It’s been stormy overnight and we’re in for a wet commute this morning.  We’ll see improvement by afternoon.  We ‘ll see a brief, nice break between storm systems on Saturday.  Sunny & cool.  Sunday looks potentially stormy.  Level 2 Severe Weather Risk.  Damaging winds are the main threat.  Tornadoes can’t be ruled out. By Tuesday, we may not make it out of the 50’s.  Could we flirt with a freeze on Wednesday AM?  Here’s my brief discussion.
