Outlook
Cool and dry high pressure will slowly move away today, then moisture will gradually return to the region early in the week ahead of the next approaching cold front. Another round of rain is expected as the front crosses the area Tuesday and Tuesday night. Light precipitation and cool temperatures may linger through the middle of the week as this front becomes stalled just south of the area.
