.DISCUSSION...
TODAY WILL BE SLIGHTLY COOLER WITH SLIGHTLY HIGHER DAYTIME RH VALUES.
WEAK LOW PRESSURE WILL LINGER OVERHEAD ON SUNDAY AND INTO NEXT WEEK
WHICH WILL ALLOW TEMPERATURES AND HUMIDITY TO ADJUST TO MORE SEASONAL
VALUES. HOWEVER IT WILL BRING A CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS STARTING
SUNDAY AND CONTINUING THROUGH MOST OF THE WEEK. SUNDAY'S CHANCE OF
THUNDER IS VERY LOW...WITH BETTER CHANCES TO THE FIRES EAST OVER
GLACIER AND TO THE WEST OVER THE CASCADES. IF THUNDER DOES DEVELOP
SUNDAY THERE WOULD BE LITTLE TO NO RAIN ASSOCIATED WITH IT AND GUSTY
WINDS.
