 .DISCUSSION...
 Stationary front will lift north as a warm front today and remain 
 parked to our north through Saturday. This will lead to unseasonably 
 warm afternoons through Saturday with a few spots across the 
 lowlands reaching near record temperatures in the upper 80s. 
 
 Daily chances for showers and thunderstorms will also exist and some 
 could be strong to severe on Friday and Saturday, especially on 
 Saturday with a strong cold front moving through. 
 
 Cooler temperatures are in store for next week behind this front, 
 which creates frost and freeze concerns each night.
