Showers Then a Cold Front Bring Cooler Weather Thursday
Listen to the story
Some rain is coming on Thursday morning. It will not rain everywhere. These are called spotty showers. This means rain in some places, not all places.
After the rain, a cold front will come. A cold front is cold air that moves in fast. It pushes out warm air.
The weather will change after the front. It will feel cooler. This is normal for November. November is a cold month before winter.
People call this change a pattern flip. This means the weather changes from one type to another type. First there are showers. Then it gets cold.
The cold air will feel like real November weather. People should wear a jacket on Thursday.
