.DISCUSSION...
A cold front is moving across the area bringing another round of
precip to the area. Behind the front, temperatures will be cooler.
Another push of moisture is expected Monday from the remnants of
the next tropical system, Raymond. Unsettled weather continues for
much of the week as another system moves across the area from the
west. With so much precip, fire weather concerns will remain at
a minimum.
