.DISCUSSION...
Dense fog in the area early this morning will gradually start to
diminish towards the mid morning. However an area of showers and
thunderstorms will be moving through during the latter half of the
morning into early this afternoon and these have the potential of
producing hail and strong to severe wind gusts. Following these
initial showers and storms, there could be more scattered showers
and thunderstorms that form later in the day.

Periods of showers, thunderstorms, and humidity continue through Saturday
ahead of a strong cold front that passes through late Saturday
afternoon into Saturday evening. High pressure builds into the
area on Sunday and persists into Tuesday before another period of
unsettled weather returns Wednesday into Thursday.
