 .DISCUSSION...
 Isolated showers and perhaps a storm or two are possible in the 
 northeast mountains on Wednesday, with cooler and drier air in store 
 for the rest of the work week, though smoke from distant wildfires 
 will likely cause hazy skies at times. Unfortunately, unsettled 
 weather returns just in time for the weekend.
