 .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.
