.DISCUSSION...
Near to below average temperatures will continue through the weekend
before a warming trend begins Monday. In the meantime, showers and
thunderstorms will be around once again today, with concerns being
for lightning, small hail and briefly erratic wind gusts. Coverage
of showers and thunderstorms diminishes greatly for Sunday, though a
few showers and an isolated thunderstorm or two will be around,
mostly over terrain. Well above average temperatures arrive by
Wednesday, with the hot and dry conditions persisting into at least
next weekend. -AM
