The cold front will also bring elevated chances of rain and thunderstorms as it moves over the warmer waters of Lake Erie and Lake Ontario.
Looking ahead to today and the rest of the week are looking at highs in the mid-70s with lows dropping down into the 50s. There is a chance of rain and thunderstorms today, Thursday, and Friday.
