 .DISCUSSION...
 Showers and storms, some possibly strong to severe, will affect the 
 area again this afternoon, and possibly into the overnight period. 
 These storms will be capable of producing damaging wind gusts, large 
 hail, and a few tornadoes. A brief lull in the activity can be 
 expected for much of Wednesday, however, additional rounds of storms 
 are expected later Wednesday evening and Wednesday night. Heavy 
 downpours can also be expected with these storms, and may create 
 localized flash flooding into Thursday morning.
 
 The rest of the week and the weekend will remain unsettled, leading 
 to the daily chance for showers and storms. However, any 
 thunderstorms through the weekend will be far less impactful.
