A slightly better shot at some storms arrives later tonight and Wednesday as front number one moves in. A lingering shower or storm hangs tough Thursday and Friday as temps come down to more normal levels for this time of year.<\/p>\n<p>The next front slamming through this weekend is being pushed by a MAJOR trough digging into the eastern half of the country.
