Discussion
The combination of an approaching cold front and an upstream batch of showers and thunderstorms will keep it very unsettled around here during the afternoon and nighttime hours. Any thunderstorm that develops later today or tonight can be on the strong-to-severe side with some heavy rainfall and gusty winds. This same frontal system will meander just to the south of here through the remainder of the week maintaining the unsettled conditions as several waves of low pressure move along the boundary zone. High pressure may take back control of the weather later in the weekend.
