.DISCUSSION...IT WILL REMAIN COLD AND CLOUDY TODAY WITH HIGH
TEMPERATURES ONLY REACHING THE LOWER 40S. THERE IS A SMALL CHANCE
FOR SOME LIGHT DRIZZLE THIS MORNING...BUT THE BETTER CHANCES FOR
PRECIPITATION WILL HOLD OFF UNTIL THIS AFTERNOON. THIS
PRECIPITATION WILL STAY IN THE FORM OF RAIN IN THE BURN AREA...AND
WHILE CHANCES WILL RAMP UP AFTER NOON...IT REALLY LOOKS LIKE THE BEST
CHANCES FOR RAIN NEAR THE BURN SITE WILL COME AFTER 2 OR 3 PM.
RAIN CHANCES DO LOOK VERY GOOD FROM MID TO LATE AFTERNOON INTO THE
EVENING HOURS...WITH CHANCES AROUND 90 PERCENT. THE RAIN WILL MOVE
EAST LATE THIS EVENING. WE SHOULD CATCH A BREAK FROM THE
PRECIPITATION OVERNIGHT INTO TOMORROW MORNING...AS JUST A SMALL
CHANCE FOR SOME VERY LIGHT RAIN OR DRIZZLE EXISTS DURING THIS
TIME. A BETTER CHANCE FOR RAIN WILL ARRIVE AGAIN TOMORROW
AFTERNOON AND EVENING AS ANOTHER UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE MOVES
ACROSS. WINDS TODAY AND TONIGHT WILL REMAIN OUT OF THE EAST BUT
