 .DISCUSSION...
 Isolated showers and perhaps a storm or two are possible today. 
 
 Another round of more widespread showers and thunderstorms can be 
 expected late tonight and Wednesday as a low pressure system crosses 
 the area, bringing much needed rainfall. A few storms could be on 
 the stronger side Wednesday afternoon.
 
 Much cooler air arrives Thursday through the weekend amid mainly dry 
 conditions. There is also the potential for frost and freeze 
 conditions, especially on Sunday morning.
