 .DISCUSSION...
 Cool and dry tonight with areas of valley fog. Dry weather continues 
 on Tuesday, then a front brings a chance of showers and perhaps a 
 few storms Tuesday night. A stronger system brings the potential for 
 severe storms ahead of and along a cold front Wednesday night and 
 Thursday. In addition to the front, moisture feeding into the area 
 from a Gulf system could heighten the risk of excessive rainfall 
 Thursday into Friday. Drier conditions return for the weekend.
