    Thursday weather looks damp and stormy.  It will be mild and muggy to start with spotty showers early followed by afternoon and evening storms.  Highs in the upper 70s with winds out of the SW 5-10 mph. Some of the storms will produce locally heavy rain and gusty winds.

    This system is from the same cold front that caused the midwest tornadoes. It will also usher in cooler air for the holiday weekend.
