.DISCUSSION...
A WEAKENING BAND OF SHOWERS OVER WESTERN MINNESOTA IS MOVING EAST
TOWARD THE AREA. IF ANY OF THESE SURVIVE THEY COULD BE PASSING
JUST TO THE SOUTH OF THE BURN AREA AROUND MID-DAY. THERE WILL BE
A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF MID AND HIGH LEVEL CLOUD COVER ASSOCIATED
WITH THESE DYING SHOWERS THAT WILL MOVE IN AROUND MID-MORNING BUT
SHOULD BE BREAKING UP BY MID-AFTERNOON.  WINDS MAY BE A BIT BREEZY
THIS MORNING...BUT SHOULD BE DIMINISHING LATER IN THE AFTERNOON
AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FROM THE WEST.  THESE WINDS MAY HELP
MIXING AND ALLOW HUMIDITY TO DROP INTO THE 25-30 PERCENT RANGE.
