RAINS ON THE FIRE. WINDS AWAY FROM THUNDERSTORMS WILL ALSO PICK
UP TODAY OUT OF THE SOUTHWEST. THE WINDS WILL BECOME EVEN
STRONGER SATURDAY BUT THE AIRMASS WILL START TO DRY. THERE WILL
STILL BE A CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS SATURDAY BUT THERE IS ONLY A
10 PERCENT CHANCE OF WETTING RAINS AND THE THREAT OF STRONG
ERRATIC OUTFLOW WINDS FROM STORMS WILL BE GREATER. THE DRYING
TREND WILL CONTINUE INTO SUNDAY AND SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL CONTINUE
ALTHOUGH THEY WILL NOT BE QUITE AS STRONG.
