.DISCUSSION...
A hot and humid airmass remains over the area through Thursday.
Scattered showers and thunderstorms will be possible Thursday
afternoon and evening. Any storm may be capable over torrential
rainfall, but coverage of showers and storms remains low
confidence. Once the front crosses the area, drier conditions
will arrive Friday. High pressure building in behind it will
provide quiet weather over the weekend.
