.DISCUSSION...

Late day and evening showers and thunderstorm activity will
persist into the weekend for a relatively wet and active period.
The main impact from storms will be heavy rain as moisture is
unusually plentiful for early July. Strong wind gusts (40-50 mph)
and small hail are also possible. Temps will remain above normal
today, though not quite as hot as yesterday. A cool down is
expected Friday and into the weekend. BT
