After a rather stormy end to the week and start of the weekend, a stronger cold frontal passage on Sunday will support clearing and drying, according to the National Weather Service (NWS) “and dare we say, fall-like conditions moving in next week” the advisory concludes.
Although thunderstorms are likely, widespread severe weather is not expected at this time.
