.DISCUSSION...

Deeper mixing and stronger transport winds out of
the south on Thursday will support very good dispersion as a cold
front begins to approach from the west. The next chance of a
wetting rain holds off until Thursday evening for most of the
region and continues into Friday. A period of unsettled weather will
then likely persist into next week.
