A SHORTWAVE TO MOVE INTO THE REGION AS A NORTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT
DEVELOPS. SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL POSSIBLE MAINLY
DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS. THERE WILL BE THE POTENTIAL
FOR THESE THUNDERSTORMS TO BECOME STRONG TO SEVERE WITH DOWNBURST

ANOTHER STRONGER SHORTWAVE IN NORTHWEST FLOW WILL DRIVE A COLD FRONT
THROUGH THE REGION THURSDAY INTO THURSDAY NIGHT. THIS WILL RESULT IN
SOMETHING OF A COOLING TREND FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. WILL CONTINUE
