.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.
