.DISCUSSION...
THE SYSTEM THAT BROUGHT THE THUNDERSTORMS THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS
HAS MOVED OUT. SHOULD BE A DRY DAY BUT DO EXPECT A FEW CUMULUS
CLOUDS TO FORM OFF THE MOUNTAINS TO THE WEST. HIGHS WILL BE A TAD
COOLER BUT NOTHING THAT NOTICEABLE. WINDS WILL BE LIGHT AND
PRIMARILY OUT OF THE SOUTHEAST. WILL LIKELY SEE A GUST TO 16 MPH
DURING THE AFTERNOON AS THE SLOPE HEATS UP. HUMIDITIES WILL FALL
TO AROUND 20 PERCENT IN THE AFTERNOON. FRIDAY SHOULD BE SIMILAR
BUT DO EXPECT A FEW MORE CUMULUS CLOUDS OFF THE MOUNTAINS IN THE
AFTERNOON COMPARED TO TODAY. AN ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM WILL BE
POSSIBLE BY EARLY EVENING. THE STORMS SHOULD BE WET. THE CHANCE
OF WET THUNDERSTORMS INCREASE THIS WEEKEND. TWH
