 .DISCUSSION...
 High pressure will keep the region dry and increasingly warm today, 
 with high temperatures reaching the lower 70s in the lowlands. Due 
 to very dry air and low afternoon humidity, there is an elevated 
 risk for brush fires today so please use caution with outdoor 
 burning or machinery that causes sparks.
 
 Rain chances return late tonight into Thursday as a warm front lifts 
 through the area, pushing Thursday's high temperatures into the 
 upper 70s and lower 80s. A cold front will then sweep across the 
 region Thursday evening and overnight, bringing a line of showers 
 and thunderstorms that could produce locally damaging wind gusts and 
 heavy downpours leading to localized flooding.
