 .DISCUSSION...
 High pressure building surface and aloft will bring hot weather 
 Today through Thursday, and even Friday, depending upon the timing 
 of a cold front approaching from the northwest. This is likely to 
 bring heat indices into the lower 100s this afternoon, and lower 
 to even mid 100s Wednesday, and perhaps again on Thursday.
 
 For now, Heat Advisories have been issued for much of the lowlands 
 for this afternoon through Wednesday, 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.
