The front will then lift northward as a warm front this weekend, ushering in the warmest airmass of the year thus far. Another cold front will move into the basin Monday night and Tuesday, bringing another round of showers and storms along with a return to near normal temperatures. ...FLOOD POTENTIAL DISCUSSION...
