.DISCUSSION...
MORE RAIN IS ON THE WAY TODAY. A WEAK UPPER LEVEL STORM SYSTEM JUST
SOUTH OF THE BORDER WILL DRIFT SLOWLY NORTH AND HELP GENERATE MORE
AFTERNOON AND EVENING THUNDERSTORMS TODAY. A FEW STORMS MAY
PRODUCE VERY HEAVY RAIN. OUR RAIN CHANCES WILL CONTINUE FOR THE NEXT
SEVERAL DAYS. LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL BE PLENTIFUL SO WE WILL CONTINUE
TO SEE GOOD OVERNIGHT RH RECOVERIES EACH MORNING. FOR THE MOST PART
WINDS WILL NOT BE A FACTOR THROUGH THE PERIOD. HOWEVER STRONG AND
ERRATIC OUTFLOW WINDS ARE EXPECTED IN AND NEAR INDIVIDUAL THUNDERSTORMS.
