 .DISCUSSION...
 Today will be warm, but breezy, as warm southwesterly flow increases 
 out ahead of a cold front approaching from the northwest. The front, 
 along with several waves of low pressure riding along it, will 
 provide a soaking rain to the region tonight through Wednesday 
 night. Cooler temperatures arrive behind the front Thursday with 
 frost concerns possible Thursday night and Friday morning.
 
 Drier conditions briefly take hold for much of Friday, but 
 additional disturbances are expected over the weekend.
