DISCUSSION
KEY MESSAGE 1...A cold front is expected to approach the region later this week and move through forecast area on Saturday.
This will bring showers and thunderstorms to the region. Sunday dries out.

A cold front is expected to approach our region later in the week bringing the potential for showers/thunderstorms as early as late day tomorrow. These showers and thunderstorms should be confined to areas north and west of the I95 corridor.

The cold front will continue to track south on Friday and Saturday. As a result, PoPs will increase across the entire forecast area at this time.

Deep layer shear will be fairly robust, but the forcing does not look to be terribly strong and could also be centered more north of our area. This could limit the severe weather potential. This is still a few days away though and things could change.

Precipitation chances diminish by Sunday and into early next week.
