1023 PM EDT MON JUN 17 2013

.DISCUSSION..

MOISTURE WILL REMAIN ACROSS THE REGION AHEAD OF A WEAK COLD 
FRONT DRIFTING IN FROM THE NORTH TONIGHT. 
THIS FRONT IS EXPECTED TO WEAKEN BUT WILL BE ENOUGH TO 
GENERATE SCATTERED SHOWERS AND A FEW THUNDERSTORMS 
ESPECIALLY ACROSS SOUTHERN AND EASTERN SECTIONS INTO TONIGHT. 

ANOTHER BOUNDARY AND UPPER DISTURBANCE ARRIVES TUESDAY BRINGING 
ADDED SHOWERS AND A FEW THUNDERSTORMS TUESDAY INTO TUESDAY NIGHT. 

SOMEWHAT DRIER WEATHER WILL ARRIVE FOR MIDWEEK AS WEAK HIGH 
PRESSURE BUILDS IN. HOWEVER THE THREAT FOR DAILY SHOWERS AND 
STORMS WILL PERSIST ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS EACH AFTERNOON.
