 .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, primarily across the higher 
 elevations, but little accumulation is expected. Dry weather builds 
 in area wide by Thursday afternoon amid breezy winds. Mainly dry 
 weather then continues through the weekend amid a return of near to 
 above normal temperatures.
