.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGE 1...Low pressure moving by just to our south will
continue to bring some showers and storms to the area through
this afternoon before these move offshore early this evening.

As of late afternoon, the severe thunderstorm watch has now been
cancelled. While some heavier showers and an occasional rumble
of thunder may still be possible, the severe threat has now
diminished.

Heading into this evening, the system will be quickly departing
so showers/storms and any lingering severe threat will come to
an end by 8 PM. The remainder of the night will be tranquil.


KEY MESSAGE 2...Another cold front is expected to approach the
region late this week, bringing more chances for showers and
storms. This will last at least into the first part of the
weekend.

Another cold front is expected to approach our region late in
the week bringing the potential for showers/storms as early as
very late day Thursday into Thursday night. Deep layer shear
will be fairly strong but the forcing does not look to be
terribly strong and could also be centered more north of our
area. This could limit the severe weather potential. This is
still a few days away though and things could change.

At this point it is likely that the aformentioned front with
its associated showers and potential storms is likely to linger
into Saturday keeping at least the first part of the weekend on
the unsettled side. Precipitation chances diminish by Sunday
into early next week.
