 .DISCUSSION...
 High pressure will bring hot weather through Thursday, and even 
 Friday, depending upon the timing of a cold front approaching from 
 the northwest. Heat Advisories have been issued for much of the 
 lowlands through Wednesday evening, and may eventually need extended 
 in area and time, and possibly even upgraded.
 
 A cold front is likely to bring rounds of showers and storms 
 Thursday afternoon through Friday, but may push far enough through 
 for drier weather, with more seasonable temperatures, to arrive 
 sometime over the upcoming Labor Day Holiday weekend.
