 .DISCUSSION...
 Showers and thunderstorms remain possible this morning as a frontal 
 boundary stalls out before lifting back northward as a warm front. 
 This sets us up with warm afternoons Thursday through Saturday, with 
 the chance for mainly afternoon and evening showers and 
 thunderstorms.
 
 A strong cold front will then push through Saturday night with more 
 showers and thunderstorms. Much cooler weather can then be expected 
 behind the front for the end of the weekend into the next work week.
