.DISCUSSION...

I WENT BACK AND INDEED THE WINDS LOOK A LITTLE LOW FOR YOUR AREA.
HAVE TAKEN A LOOK AT A HIGHER RESOLUTION MODEL AND ITS WINDS ARE
SOMEWHAT HIGHER. WILL USE THIS MODEL FOR TODAYS WINDS.

HIGH PRESSURE AT THE SURFACE AND ALOFT WILL PREVAIL THROUGH THE
WEEK. THE RESULT WILL BE A CONTINUED LACK OF SHOWER ACTIVITY WITH
HOT AND MUGGY CONDITIONS LINGERING.
