 .DISCUSSION...
 Very warm today, with scattered to widespread showers and 
 thunderstorms through tonight with a cold front moving down from the 
 north. Some storms may be strong to severe with damaging winds, 
 hail, and the chance for an isolated tornado. 
 
 Chances for showers and thunderstorms remain in the forecast through 
 Saturday as the front stalls across our north resulting in very 
 warm, well above normal afternoon temperatures. 
 
 A strong cold front will then push through Saturday night or Sunday 
 with more showers and thunderstorms. Cooler, slightly below normal 
 temperatures can be expected behind the front for the end of the 
 weekend into the next work week.
