 .DISCUSSION...
 Heat warnings and advisories continue through tomorrow for much of 
 the lowlands. Even as the daytime heat may ease off a bit, the warm 
 and muggy overnights allow for minimal relief.
 
 The chance for mainly afternoon and early evening showers and 
 thunderstorms continues through the weekend, and may even increase 
 as a cold front approaches early next week.
 
 The front may be followed by a break in the heat, with drier, 
 slightly cooler weather, and lower humidity, come the middle of next 
 week.
