.DISCUSSION...
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING IN FROM THE WEST WILL KEEP US IN A HOT AND
MOSTLY DRY WEATHER PATTERN THROUGH THURSDAY. HOWEVER...THERE IS
A VERY SLIM CHANCE OF A STRAY AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORM EACH DAY. ANY
STORMS THAT DO DEVELOP WOULD MOST LIKELY BE HIGH-BASED WITH GUSTY
AND ERRATIC WINDS AND THE CHANCE FOR DRY LIGHTNING...BUT WITH VERY
LITTLE PRECIPITATION. AFTERNOON TEMPS WILL RUN 4 TO 8 DEGREES ABOVE
NORMAL WITH MINIMUM RELATIVE HUMIDITY IN THE 5 TO 15 PERCENT RANGE.
WINDS GENERALLY LIGHT WITH MODERATE TO HIGH (5 OR 6) HAINES INDICES.
VENTILATION VERY GOOD EACH AFTERNOON DUE TO DEEP MIXING HEIGHTS.
THAT HIGH PRESSURE IS EXPECTED TO SHIFT EAST BY FRIDAY...ALLOWING
MOIST AIR TO FLOW IN FROM THE GULF OF MEXICO AND INCREASING THE
CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS.
