 .DISCUSSION...
 Strong to severe thunderstorms are possible across the area this 
 afternoon and evening, with damaging winds, large hail, and perhaps 
 a few tornadoes. Storms will also contain heavy downpours, and could 
 cause localized flooding, mainly in poor drainage areas. 
 
 Much cooler weather moves in overnight into Thursday morning as a 
 cold front moves through the region. This will bring the potential 
 for a wintry mix to parts of the area. Dry weather builds in area 
 wide by Thursday afternoon amid breezy winds.
