DISCUSSION...
MOST OF THE PRECIPITATION HAS ALREADY MOVED EAST OF THE BURN SITE...
HOWEVER AN OUTFLOW BOUNDARY ORIGINATING FROM SOUTHERN COLORADO WILL
CONTINUE TO SLIDE SOUTH THIS EVENING. THIS WILL SHIFT THE WINDS TO A
NORTH OR NORTHEAST COMPONENT IN ITS WAKE AND COULD SPARK AN ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORM PRIOR TO MIDNIGHT. OTHERWISE...MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES WILL
DOMINATE THE REGION THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT WITH MODEST RH RECOVERIES.
SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL ERUPT ONCE AGAIN TOMORROW AFTERNOON. A WEAK
STEERING FLOW FROM WEST TO EAST MAY ALLOW FOR BRIEF HEAVY RAINS AND
GUSTY AND ERRATIC OUTFLOWS. MINIMUM HUMIDITIES SHOULD BE A TAD LOWER
WHEN COMPARED TO WEDNESDAY. DPORTER
