.DISCUSSION...
Dry weather will give way to daily chances of showers and
thunderstorms as a front lifts into the area and then lingers nearby
through mid week.
Some storms may become strong to severe this evening and on Sunday
with the main threat of damaging wind. Also, localized flash
flooding cannot be ruled out across flood prone and low lying areas
who are hit repeatedly.
