.DISCUSSION...
SUBTROPICAL RIDGE AXIS WILL REMAIN IN PLACE OVER NORTHERN ARIZONA
AND NEW MEXICO OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS...RESULTING IN LITTLE
CHANGE IN DAY-TO-DAY WEATHER.  OVERALL AVAILABLE MOISTURE WILL
INCREASE TONIGHT INTO THURSDAY...RESULTING IN GOOD COVERAGE OF
AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORMS AGAIN TOMORROW.  SOME DRIER AIR ALOFT
MAY WORK INTO NORTHERN AND CENTRAL NEW MEXICO...SLIGHTLY
DECREASING THE OVERALL COVERAGE OF THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE GILA
REGION ON FRIDAY.  OTHERWISE...EXPECT GENERALLY LIGHT WINDS
AWAY FROM THUNDERSTORMS...AND THE POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAINFALL
IN THE AFTERNOON.  OVERNIGHT RH RECOVERY WILL BE EXCELLENT.
