.DISCUSSION...

AT THIS TIME IT LOOKS LIKE ONLY A SMALL CHANCE FOR SOME THUNDERSTORMS
IN THE AREA LATE THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND IN THE EVENING...WITH THE
MAIN THREATS...IF ANY STORM DO OCCUR...BEING LIGHTNING AND WIND GUSTS
TO 40 MPH.

THE FORECAST MODELS ARE SHOWING DRY WEATHER FOR FRIDAY...WITH CONTINUED
VERY WARM TEMPS IN THE 80S...AND AFTERNOON WESTERLY WINDS AT 10-15 MPH
AND MIN RH VALUES OF 10-15 PERCENT.

SATURDAY IT LOOKS LIKE ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE IN THE
LATE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING HOURS WITH LIGHTNING AND GUSTY WINDS
AGAIN BEING THE MAIN THREATS.   OTHERWISE TEMPS ON SATURDAY WILL AGAIN
BE IN THE 80S WITH MIN RH VALUES OF 10-15 PERCENT...AND AFTERNOON
WESTERLY WINDS AT 10-15 MPH.

SUNDAY AND MONDAY SHOULD BE DRY DAYS WITH MIN RH VALUES OF 10-15 PERCENT
AND HIGHS IN THE 80S AND IT STILL LOOKS LIKE AFTERNOON WINDS WILL BE IN
THE 10-15 MPH RANGE.

A WEATHER SYSTEM MAY MOVE INTO THE AREA TUESDAY...BRINGING A BETTER
CHANCE FOR SOME SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS...BUT THIS IS A BIT UNCERTAIN
AT THIS TIME.
