 .DISCUSSION...
 Shower activity is expected to increase throughout today, with some 
 thunderstorms also possible. Rain could once again be heavy in some 
 areas, leading to continued flooding concerns, especially in 
 locations impacted by heavy rain over the last several days.
 
 Additional rounds of showers are likely on Memorial Day and into the 
 new work week, with mainly afternoon and evening thunderstorms also 
 possible. Drier conditions build into the region towards the end of 
 the work week courtesy of high pressure to the north.
 
 Temperatures will hover a few degrees above normal through the 
 middle of the upcoming week, before dropping back closer to normal, 
 or slightly below, late in the week.
