THERE IS THE POTENTIAL THAT A FEW OF THESE SHOWERS WILL PASS
THROUGH SOUTHERN PINE COUNTY THIS MORNING. AT THIS TIME CONFIDENCE
REMAINS LOW IN WETTING RAIN AT BURN SITE. OTHERWISE...HIGH CLOUDS

MID LEVEL CUMULUS DECK TO DEVELOP IN THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EARLY
EVENING. TEMPERATURES WILL BE SIMILAR TO YESTERDAY...INTO THE
UPPER 70S AND LOWER 80S...WITH HUMIDITY VALUES DROPPING TO AROUND 30
