 .DISCUSSION...
 A few rounds of strong to severe thunderstorms are possible starting 
 this evening and continuing through Tuesday afternoon. The main 
 threats from these storms will be localized damaging wind gusts that 
 could knock down trees and power lines, along with locally heavy 
 rainfall that could cause quick flash flooding in low-lying areas 
 and narrow mountain valleys. 
 
 Weather conditions will clear up by Wednesday, bringing cooler, 
 drier air for the rest of the week, though smoke from distant 
 wildfires will likely cause hazy skies.
