REMAIN LIGHT. WITH A SOUTH ASPECT EXPECT LIGHT AND VARIABLE WINDS
FOR MOST OF THE MORNING WITH SOUTHWEST WINDS DEVELOPING IN THE
AFTENROON AT 5 TO 7 MPH.

OTHERWISE...A WEAK SURFACE TROUGH COMBINED WITH AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE WILL
CONTINUE TO PROVIDE FOCUS FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP.
LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL KEEP RELATIVE HUMIDITIES ABOVE CRITICAL
VALUES.
