 +----------------------------------------------

A cold front is bisecting the state this morning from northeast to southwest, but unable to produce much in the way of rainfall for us.  The atmosphere above us is rather stable and the winds are weak.  The sun will try its hardest to generate instability for us this afternoon and thus increase our thunderstorm chances, but widespread heavy rain is not expected.
