Cool down ahead 

A cold front moving south and east on Wednesday kicks off a cooling trend. Temperatures will start in the 60s on Wednesday morning, but cool into the 50s for the afternoon. 

Scattered rumbles and showers are expected to develop in the southeast by the afternoon. The metro is on the fringe of the system, and may see some showers, but has a higher chance of widespread rain later in the evening.

The system redevelops Wednesday night into Thursday morning, bringing widespread rain to the metro, and potentially a few snowflakes to some areas. The rain will clear out on Thursday for a dry but cooler Halloween with temperatures in the upper 40s.
