 .DISCUSSION...
 Showers and storms will largely dissipate early this morning, with 
 mainly dry conditions expected for Sunday. The exception will be

 thunderstorms expected daily. Some storms could be severe with a 
 damaging wind threat. In addition, heavy rains could create flooding 
 concerns, particularly in spots that receive multiple rounds of rain.
