Outlook
Dry and cooler weather will prevail today and Wednesday courtesy of high pressure moving over the Southeast. Another storm system will bring abundant moisture to the southeast Thursday through at least Friday night, with an upper low moving through on Saturday. High pressure is expected to move in from the west late in the weekend and continue into the start of next week. A significant cold snap is showing up in the computer models also.
