.DISCUSSION...

FOR THE REST OF TONIGHT...THE ONLY FEATURE TO MENTION OVERNIGHT
WILL BE HUMIDITY RECOVERIES THROUGH TUESDAY MORNING. COMPARING
SUNDAY NIGHTS HUMIDITIES TO THOSE EXPECTED TONIGHT...IT IS LOOKING
LIKE VALUES WILL BE DOUBLE THAT OF PRIOR NIGHTS.

FOR TUESDAY...WHILE THE MORNING SHOULD BEGIN UNDER PARTLY SUNNY
SKIES WITH LITTLE CHANCE FOR PRECIPITATION...THE MAIN STORY
THROUGH THE DAY WILL BE WINDS INCREASING BY THE AFTERNOON.
SUSTAINED WEST WINDS WILL RANGE IN THE LOW TEENS WITH GUSTS
APPROACHING 30 MPH BY THE EVENING. THE POTENTIAL FOR RAIN SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL INCREASE BY NIGHTFALL AND INTO WEDNESDAY AS
WELL. GOOD NEWS IS THAT HUMIDITIES AND WETTING RAIN POTENTIAL WILL
INCREASE PROGRESSIVELY...WITH WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON BEING THE BEST
WINDOW FOR PRECIPITATION. TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO COOL AN
ADDITIONAL 5 TO 10 DEGREES FROM THOSE EXPECTED TODAY.
