 .DISCUSSION...
 A potent system for Midsummer has the potential to bring impactful 
 severe weather to the area today, especially this afternoon into 
 this evening. Damaging winds, hail, and a tornado or two will be 
 possible, in addition to heavy rain. Timing for severe storms 
 currently appears to be this afternoon into evening, with possibly a 
 second round later this evening. A Flood Watch for Flash flooding is 
 also in effect for the possibility for persistent or repetitive 
 heavy rainfall from the thunderstorms this afternoon into tonight.
 
 Drier and cooler weather arrives for Wednesday through Friday, 
 before the next chance for thunderstorms arrives this weekend.
