.DISCUSSION...HIGH PRESSURE STRENGTHENING ACROSS THE REGION
TODAY HAS STABILIZED THE AIRMASS SOMEWHAT THIS AFTERNOON...WHICH
HAS LIMITED THE STRENGTH OF THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY...AND LARGELY
KEPT IT CONFINED TO THE HIGHER TERRAIN. SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE INTO THE EVENING HOURS...WITH
GUSTY OUTFLOW WINDS POSSIBLE. GIVEN THAT THESE STORMS ARE NOT
MOVING MUCH WETTING RAINS WILL ALSO BE LIKELY WITH ANY STORMS
WHICH DEVELOP.

MOISTURE WILL REMAIN IN PLACE OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS RESULTING
IN A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EACH DAY. A WEAK WEATHER
SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO MOVE ACROSS THE AREA LATE MONDAY INTO
TUESDAY WHICH MAY ENHANCE THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE A BIT. OTHERWISE
WITH THE STRENGTHENING HIGH PRESSURE...WINDS WILL GENERALLY
REMAIN DRIVEN BY TERRAIN FLOWS OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS.
