.DISCUSSION...

Primary concern will be widely scattered showers and
thunderstorms through the evening hours. The stronger cells will
be capable of producing localized wind gusts over 40 mph and brief
downpours in addition to cloud to ground lightning. This activity
has largely stayed north of the incident site so far, but there
is an expectation for some southward expansion over the next few
hours per the latest guidance and meteorological setup. Storm
motion will generally be from west to east.

                    and thunderstorms.
