Discussion              

The threat of showers and storms will increase late day and then peak later tonight as a potent system slides eastward towards the Mississippi Valley. Some of the storms that form later tonight along a cold front can be strong-to-severe with damaging winds a risk and even the threat of isolated tornadoes.  It turns somewhat cooler on Thursday following the passage of a frontal system and the mid 40’s are likely for late night lows leading into the day on Friday.
