DISCUSSION...
HIT AND MISS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO FORM OVER
THE HIGHER TERRAIN THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. STORMS WILL TEND TO
BE ON THE DRIER SIDE AND PRODUCE MORE WIND THAN RAIN. IT DOESNT
APPEAR THAT TEMPERATURES...WIND AND HUMIDITY WILL FLUCTUATE TOO
MUCH AS IT CONCERNS MAXIMUMS AND MINIMUMS BUT DUE TO CLOUD
DEVELOPMENT AND SHOWERS...VARIABILITY IS LIKELY HOUR TO HOUR
DURING THE AFTERNOON.
