AFTER A FOGGY START TO THE DAY...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL ONCE

THE SAME IS TRUE FOR ANY THUNDERSTORM WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY...AS A
WEAKENING LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM APPROACHES FROM THE WEST. HEAVY SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE MOST LIKELY DURING THE AFTERNOONS AND
EVENINGS... ALTHOUGH THE LIKELIHOOD DOES DECREASE WEST OF THE
MOUNTAINS THURSDAY. AREAS THAT GET DOWNPOURS REPEATEDLY OVER THE NEXT
THREE DAYS COULD HAVE FLOODING. A COLD FRONT CROSSES FRIDAY...KICKING
SOME OF THE MOISTURE OUT OF THE AREA...AND THUS DIMINISHING THE HEAVY
RAINFALL THREAT SOMEWHAT. HIGH PRESSURE BRINGS MAINLY DRY WEATHER TO
START THE WEEKEND ON SATURDAY.
