Weather Setup: A front is currently stalled along the coast as of Friday morning. A low pressure will ride the front moving in the easterly direction later Friday evening, eventually lifting the stalled front as a warm front. This places warm, moist air in our area, setting up the atmosphere for unstable conditions. As the low approaches, a cold front will be dragged along with it. Conditions are in place for strong to severe storms as the cold front moves through.
