DAYS 1-5 (DECEMBER 11-15)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A strong cold front approaches from the west today, passing through the region this evening. This slow-moving boundary will see a couple waves of low pressure move up along it, the last of which will help swing the front through later this evening. Before that, the last of the cold air trapped at the surface is in the process of being scoured out and the balance of today will be dominated by waves of widespread rain showers, some heavy, which may include thunder this evening as the last of it moves through, as well as a strong, gusty southerly wind and a push of much milder air as well. Hazards today include ponding of water on roadways, especially poor-drainage areas, with some flooding during the heavier rainfall episodes, as well as damaging wind gusts which can lead to isolated power outages. Later tonight, behind the front, we clear out and get colder, and some areas of black ice may form by morning as the wind shifts and drops off. Thursday and Friday will be windy days with a colder trend in a westerly flow behind the front, with mainly dry weather and just a chance of a few passing rain\/snow showers later Thursday and snow flurries on Friday. High pressure brings dry weather and more tranquil conditions this weekend, with most sun and Saturday and somewhat less sun on Sunday as the next low pressure area tries to approach, but is held off by the high pressure area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
