DISCUSSION
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE
ACROSS THE REGION THIS AFTERNOON, MAINLY EAST OF THE I-65
CORRIDOR. SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORMS CHANCES WILL INCREASE ON FRIDAY
AND SATURDAY AS SEVERAL DISTURBANCES PUSH THROUGH THE REGION.
LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL CAN BE EXPECTED WITH THESE STORMS. THE
PATTERN LOOKS TO TURN DRIER FOR THE LATE WEEKEND AND INTO EARLY
NEXT WEEK. HOWEVER, THE LATEST DATA SHOWS A MORE CONSISTENT SIGNAL
THAT UNSETTLED WEATHER IS LIKELY TO RETURN TO THE REGION BY THE
MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.
