.DISCUSSION...

A WARM AND HUMID AIRMASS IS EXPECTED TO LINGER OVER THE AREA
THROUGH AT LEAST TUESDAY OF NEXT WEEK WHEN A STRONGER COLD FRONT
IS FORECAST TO PUSH THROUGH THE REGION. WITH THIS AIRMASS IN
PLACE, AND VERY LITTLE UPPER LEVEL FLOW PATTERN, THE AREA CAN
EXPECT DAILY CHANCES OF SCATTERED TO WIDESPREAD AIRMASS SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS. THIS WILL LEAD TO THE POTENTIAL FOR LOCALIZED
FLASH FLOODING GIVEN THE SEVERAL DAYS OF ALREADY ACCUMULATED
RAINFALL, AND ISOLATED STRONG TO SEVERE WINDS FROM THUNDERSTORM
DOWNBURSTS. THE AFOREMENTIONED COLD FRONT TUESDAY WILL BRING IN
A MUCH DRIER AIRMASS AND LOWER POP CHANCES BY WEDNESDAY THROUGH
THE END OF THE WEEK. THERE ARE NO FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS AT THIS 
TIME.
