Cold front inbound Sunday night

 Here's the perfect image to describe the forecast setup for next week:

A cold front will sag in Sunday night.

But as the low it's associated with takes off into Canada, the front looks to stall out.

Best chances for rain showers (currently around 30-40% but probably going up) is behind the front to the N/NW.
