.DISCUSSION...

A DEEP TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE CENTERED OFF THE COAST WILL SEND
A COUPLE OF WEAK DISTURBANCES INTO THE REGION FROM THE SOUTH THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THE APPROACH OF THESE FEATURES COMBINED
WITH HOT SURFACE TEMPERATURES WILL TRIGGER ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS.
DRIER AIR WILL TEMPORARILY MOVE OVER THE FIRE ON WEDNESDAY
SIGNIFICANTLY LOWERING THE THREAT OF THUNDERSTORMS. THE TROUGH
WILL BEGIN TO SHIFT INLAND BY THURSDAY AND SHOULD BE FIRMLY
ENTRENCHED OVER THE FIRE BY THE WEEKEND. THIS WILL RESULT IN A
SIGNIFICANT COOLING TREND WITH INCREASING CHANCES FOR
PRECIPITATION. BREEZY WEST WINDS THURSDAY.
