 .DISCUSSION...
 Strong to severe thunderstorms are possible today. There are likely 
 to be some isolated showers and thunderstorms this morning and early 
 afternoon, but the main time frame for strong to severe storms 
 appears to be mid-afternoon into the evening hours. The main threats 
 are damaging wind gusts and possible large hail, though a low-end 
 tornado threat remains possible. Localized flash flooding is 
 possible with the heaviest thunderstorms, or for any areas that get 
 hit repeatedly.
 
 A cold front crosses late Friday into early Saturday bringing more 
 showers and thunderstorms to the area. Much of the weekend looks to 
 remain unsettled, particularly on Saturday as a secondary cold front 
 crosses the region. 
 
 Next week looks to start out cooler than normal and unsettled.
