.DISCUSSION...

Arrival and passage of a cold front will trigger showers and
some thunderstorms during the afternoon and evening today. 

Forecast rainfall amounts through Friday range from half 
an inch to an inch, which will be beneficial for the area, 
and may lead to some improvements in the ongoing dryness, 
and thus could reduce the overall fire weather 
threat across the area heading into the warmer months.
