.DISCUSSION...
Seasonably warm and humid conditions expected for the remainder
of the week with scattered afternoon and evening showers

There will be some localized amounts upwards of one inch
associated with the stronger thunderstorms. Isolated wind
damage is also possible.

Greater coverage of showers and thunderstorms is likely for the
weekend with the passage of a cold front. Somewhat drier
conditions follow the frontal passage for the beginning of next
week, and may bring temperatures a few degrees below normal.
