.DISCUSSION...
HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE AREA WILL TEND TO SUPPRESS SHOWER AND
THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY AGAIN MONDAY...BUT EXPECT AN INCREASE IN
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TUESDAY INTO THURSDAY. NORTHEAST TO
EASTERLY FLOW ALOFT WILL BRING GRADUALLY INCREASING MOISTURE
AND SLIGHTLY LOWER TEMPERATURES THE NEXT FEW DAYS. SHOWER AND
THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY TOMORROW WILL REMAIN ONLY ISOLATED TO
PERHAPS WIDELY SCATTERED IN THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING. AS THAT
HIGH PRESSURE ALOFT HEADS SLOWLY NORTHEAST...INCREASING MOISTURE
