The How

A strong passing lowpressure system on Friday will not only trigger rain showers, but possibly thunderstorms, thanks to instability in the atmosphere. Saturday, a cold front will follow, causing another day of rain showers with some cooler temperatures. Sunday a high pressure system will dry skies out, but a further cool down is expected.
