As a cold front approaches, residents are bracing for changing weather conditions that include cloudy skies, rain, and a drop in temperatures. The weather pattern is expected to shift with increased rain chances and potential thunderstorms, followed by a significant drop in temperature.
The cloud cover has descended as a cold front makes its way south, bringing rain and a few storms anticipated from Wednesday. This weather shift signals a notable drop in temperatures by Thursday morning.
For tonight, residents can expect cloudy skies with temperatures hovering above average. As the night progresses, the likelihood of rain increases substantially after midnight.
On Wednesday, rain is set to begin early, accompanied by isolated thunderstorms at a probability of 80-90 percent. There might be strong to isolated severe storms with wind gusts reaching up to 40 mph. Rainfall is expected to start around 2 a.m., increasing in intensity until around noon, and tapering off by 5 p.m. Rainfall amounts may vary between 0.10 to 0.50 inches. Morning temperatures will be in the 60s, while afternoon highs range from the upper 60s to low 70s, with winds shifting from southwest at 10-15 mph to northwest at 15-20 mph, bringing stronger gusts.
By Thursday, a freeze warning and frost advisories are possible as temperatures dip close to freezing in inland areas, signaling a sharp shift in the weather pattern.
As the week progresses into the weekend, conditions are expected to improve slightly with partly cloudy skies and milder weather. However, coastal counties might see showers on Sunday. The sun will rise at 7:13 a.m. and set at 5:27 p.m. during this period.
The weather forecast highlights a dynamic shift from cloudy and rainy conditions to potentially freezing temperatures, impacting local areas substantially. By preparing for rain and temperature drops, residents can better navigate these swift weather changes.
