 .DISCUSSION...
 Periods of rain last through Wednesday as low pressure moves just 
 west of the area.
 
 Another low pressure system is likely to bring rain, and possible 
 thunderstorms, on Friday. Otherwise, mainly afternoon and evening 
 showers and perhaps thunderstorms are on the table for Thursday, and 
 the weekend.
 
 With any luck, high pressure will bring a dry start to the next work 
 week, with cool nights, but afternoons beginning to warm.
