*looks at the front*  i don't mind the rain, we need that... I don't need 40s in Aprii... From the morning LWX AFD.

KEY MESSAGE 3...A frontal passage midway through next week will
have potential to bring showers and thunderstorms to the region.

Broad ridging is forecast to start breaking down early this
week allowing an upper-level trough to progress eastward to the
north of the region. Strong high pressure is likely to be
anchored over the north-central Atlantic Ocean acting as a
block to the east and southeast. A front associated with the
trough is forecast to drop into the region from the
north/northwest bringing the potential for showers and
thunderstorms Wednesday into Thursday. Uncertainty remains high
on shower/thunderstorm coverage along with overall rainfall
amounts associated with the boundary. Depending on the position
and strength of the high over the Atlantic Ocean, the front
could become hung up over our region becoming a focus for the
continued development of showers and thunderstorms. This
solution would bring the most rain to the region, especially if
the front stalls over the northern parts of our region. If the
high is further offshore and weaker, the front will be able to
progress further south leading to less precipitation totals and
coverage as well as much cooler temperatures. The large model
spread in frontal position is narrowing at least for Thursday,
with increasing confidence the front will push to the south.
However, it may try to lift back north at some point toward the
end of the week. Temperature spread remains large (between 40
and 85 degrees for highs) by the end of the week. The threat
for strong to severe thunderstorms with the frontal passage
Wednesday may be tempered due to the lack stronger upper-level
lift, but there may be enough instability and shear to allow
for some stronger/organized thunderstorms.
