.DISCUSSION...

UPPER LEVEL HIGH PRESSURE REMAINS OVER THE AREA.  CUMULUS
CLOUD DEVELOPMENT IS UNDERWAY DUE TO AFTERNOON HEATING.
CLOUDS MAY PRODUCE LOCALLY GUSTY WINDS ASSOCIATED WITH
VIRGA BUT ARE NOT CURRENTLY EXPECTED TO MATURE INTO
FULL BLOWN THUNDERSTORMS. EXPECT WARMER THAN AVERAGE
TEMPERATURES AND GENERALLY DRY CONDITIONS THROUGH TONIGHT.

ON SUNDAY...LOOK FOR INCREASING CHANCES OF PRECIPITATION
DEVELOPING BY SUNDAY AFTERNOON.  SOME OF THE STORMS THAT
DEVELOP SUNDAY AFTERNOON WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING
HAZARDOUS CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING AS WELL AS GUSTY WINDS.

THE BEST WAY TO KEEP AHEAD OF DEVELOPING INCLEMENT WEATHER
IS TO KEEP A WATCHFUL EYE TO THE SKY...SO PLEASE STAY ALERT
TO DEVELOPING WEATHER CONDITIONS.
