.DISCUSSION...

THERE IS VERY LITTLE CHANCE THAT SHOWERS OR THUNDERSTORMS WILL
DEVELOP IN THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON OR EVENING...BUT I CANNOT
COMPLETELY RULE OUT THE POSSIBILITY.  IF SHOWERS OR STORMS DO
DEVELOP IN THE AREA...THE MAIN THREATS WILL BE ERRATIC AND GUSTY
WINDS OF 40-50 MPH AND LIGHTNING.

ON TUESDAY THE WEATHER WILL BE SIMILAR TO TODAY...WITH LITTLE
CHANCE FOR SHOWERS OR THUNDERSTORMS...FAIRLY LIGHT WINDS...LOW
RH VALUES AND HOT TEMPERATURES.
