A cold front with ample moisture is slowly moving towards the region today. Ahead of the front, easterly flow has continued, resulting in fog and misty conditions.

The front will be close enough late this afternoon to trigger scattered showers and thunderstorms before the more widespread rainfall moves in this evening. Highs today will be in the low to mid 70s.
