morning or Saturday morning. A surface high will slide east across
the region today helping provide warmer than normal temperatures.
A dry reinforcing cold front will approach the area tonight and
move across the area Saturday. Although rain chances return
Monday, confidence continues to increase in a significant severe
weather event Tuesday into Wednesday that will also bring the next
best chance for widespread wetting rain. Dry weather and cooler
than normal temperatures are expected Wednesday night through
