.DISCUSSION...

Unsettled weather will continue today as showers are expected for
much of the day. While thunder cannot be ruled out, we are not
currently forecasting any for the FSK Bridge area this afternoon.
Winds will gradually pick up throughout the day, with gusts as high
as 20 knots expected by later in the afternoon.

Dry weather expected tonight into the first half of Saturday before
the next cold front swings through. This will bring another chance
for showers and perhaps a thunderstorm.
