DISCUSSION
ANOTHER DAY OF POTENTIALLY WET WEATHER IS IN
STORE. HOWEVER, A COLD FRONT WILL DROP SOUTH THROUGH THE AREA
TONIGHT AND EARLY THURSDAY. DRIER AIR WILL ARRIVE BEHIND IT AND
PROBABLY BRING AN END TO PRECIPITATION FOR AT LEAST MUCH OF THE AREA
THROUGH THE WEEKEND. HOWEVER, THE FRONT WILL STALL TO OUR SOUTH AND
MAY REMAIN CLOSE ENOUGH FOR A FEW SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS, MAINLY
NEAR THE TENNESSEE BORDER.
