 .DISCUSSION...
 Showers and thunderstorms become increasingly likely today, with 
 several rounds possible as a mid/upper-level short wave trough 
 drives a surface cold front toward the area. Coverage will maximized 
 during peak heating this afternoon, before waning around sunset on 
 loss of heating, and the exodus of the short wave trough. While 
 heavy downpours are likely, the potential for severe weather remains 
 low.
 
 Storms will also suppress the heat somewhat today and even on 
 Thursday, though it will remain humid. Showers and storms will 
 become more widely scattered and diurnally driven in nature Thursday 
 and Friday, while also becoming more increasingly confined to the 
 mountains.
 
 Upper-level ridging this weekend will bring a lull in the diurnally 
 driven thunderstorms, especially on Sunday, while also allowing the 
 heat to build.
