SERVICE.

DISCUSSION...
PRETTY DYNAMIC DAY WITH A WAVE MOVING OVER THE SOUTHERN ROCKIES.
ABUNDANT MONSOONAL MOISTURE IS FOUND JUST TO THE SOUTH AND WILL
COMBINE WITH THE WAVE TO PRODUCE A LINE OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS THAT WOULD MOST LIKELY COME IN FROM THE NORTHWEST
ALTHOUGH STORMS COULD ALSO FORM OVERHEAD THIS AFTERNOON. SOME OF
THE STORMS WOULD BE OF THE WETTING KIND BUT LIGHTNING AND OUTFLOW
WINDS WOULD BE A CONCERN. HIGHER HUMIDITY CONTINUES TONIGHT WITH
SLIGHT DRYING EXPECTED ON FRIDAY.
