[ Monday, Oct. 21, 2002 ]
Clouds will slide into the region today as a trough of low pressure moves through just to our north. The skies will begin to clear by midweek as the trough moves to the east. However this will be short lived as a weak frontal system approaches from the west. The best chance for precipitation will be towards the end of the week associated with the frontal system that will affecting the region. Temperatures for the week will remain below the seasonal average for this time of year but will decrease slightly by midweek but will begin to rise as the weekend approaches.
