.DISCUSSION...

the day. While relative humidity is likely to lower into the 20s
this afternoon, winds should remain fairly light. An approaching warm
front then brings chances of showers and thunderstorms into the area
tonight through Friday.

After a break for much of Saturday, showers and thunderstorms return late
Saturday or Saturday night, and continue into Monday ahead of the next
cold front. Thunderstorms late Sunday or Sunday night could be strong
to severe.
