 .DISCUSSION...
 Showers and afternoon thunderstorms may develop in and near the 
 mountains today, as a mid-upper level disturbance drifts southward 
 over the area.
 
 High pressure will then build in from the north, with dry, pleasant 
 conditions expected area-wide from mid to late week. An approaching 
 system brings the next chance for showers and thunderstorms to the 
 area at some point next weekend.
