There is a fast-moving cold front dropping South across our region late today and into this evening. This is expected to produce some showers, especially into the mountains and foothills, and there may even be a little thunder.
Some of the higher elevations could see of rain/snow mix overnight. This front will also create periods of wind and isolated showers across the lower elevations.
