.DISCUSSION...

A SURFACE TROUGH ALONG WITH A WEAK UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE WILL
ACT AS THE FOCUS FOR NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THIS
AFTERNOON. INCREASED MOISTURE CAN BE EXPECTED THE NEXT FEW DAYS
WHICH WILL KEEP RH VALUES ABOVE CRITICAL THRESHOLDS THROUGH THE
SHORT TERM PERIOD.

WINDS WILL AGAIN BE A VERY TOUGH CALL TODAY AS FLOW REMAINS
GENERALLY LIGHT. BEST ESTIMATES AT THIS TIME ARE THAT WINDS WILL
BE LIGHT FROM THE WEST AND AND THEN HAVE SOME SLOPE INFLUENCES TO
BECOME SOUTHWEST BY AFTERNOON.
