PRESSURE FORMING OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS WILL LIFT NORTHEAST TOWARD
THE GREAT LAKES THROUGH WEDNESDAY. ISOLATED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS HAVE REDEVELOP ALONG THE COASTAL SECTIONS IN THE WAKE
OF THE LINE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THAT MOVED EAST ACROSS THE
AREA THIS MORNING. THIS NEW DEVELOPMENT IS MOVING TOWARD THE NORTH
