.DISCUSSION...
A low pressure system and upper level disturbance bring
beneficial rain to the region through today before the end of
the week and into the first half of the weekend sees the return
of dry weather. Additional chances for showers and some
thunderstorms come Sunday into the beginning of next week as an
unsettled pattern takes hold of the region. Temperatures remain
cool by late August standards for much of the next seven days,
though values will warm closer to normal for Friday and
Saturday.
