A stalling cold front has knocked down temperatures considerably, and a trough of low-pressure moving along this front is also bringing some needed rain to much of the region.

The weather pattern will remain unsettled for the remainder of the week, thanks to a deepening trough in the jet stream heading into the weekend.
