Fast-Moving Cold Front Ends Warm Spell With Rain and a Sharp Cooldown

High pressure will bring a cooler, drier weekend, with rain chances building again by midweek.

Overview

  • Following Friday’s cold front, overnight showers with a few rumbles of thunder tapered in the morning as temperatures fell into the 40s in many communities.
  • High pressure settles in for a cooler, breezy and mainly dry weekend, with a freeze early Saturday in the Kansas City area and highs stuck in the 30s to 40s across New England and south-central Pennsylvania.
  • Gusty winds raised fire weather concerns, with high fire danger around Kansas City Friday, a Fire Weather Watch for north-central Wyoming this weekend, and 15–30 knot gusts along California’s Central Coast.
  • Rain totals reached roughly 0.50 to 0.75 inches across Pennsylvania’s Susquehanna Valley, with up to an inch in a few spots and only a low risk for isolated stronger storms.
  • Forecast guidance trends toward a deeper trough Tuesday and Wednesday that could return more widespread wetting rain and renewed shower and storm chances next week.
