 .DISCUSSION...
 A warm front will bring showers to parts of the area today, with 
 thunderstorms also possible, although they should be rather isolated 
 in nature. 
 
 Warmer temperatures will also take hold across the area today and 
 Tuesday, as warm southwesterly flow increases out ahead of an 
 approaching front. This, along with several waves of low pressure, 
 will provide a soaking rain to the region Tuesday night through 
 Thursday. 
 
 Drier conditions look to briefly take hold for much of Friday, but 
 additional disturbances are expected over the weekend.
