.DISCUSSION...

THE INITIAL SURGE OF MONSOONAL MOISTURE WILL OVERSPREAD THE REGION
TODAY. THIS WILL RESULT IN ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING...AS WELL AS HIGHER RELATIVE HUMIDITY. THE
MAIN HAZARD FROM ANY THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY TODAY WILL BE VERY
GUSTY AND ERRATIC WINDS TO 45 MPH. THIS CAN OCCUR WELL AWAY FROM
THE MAIN THUNDERSTORM.

A MUCH BETTER SHOT AT SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL OCCUR
WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY. COOLER TEMPERATURES AND MUCH HIGHER
RELATIVE HUMIDITY ARE EXPECTED WEDNESDAY DUE TO THE ANTICIPATED
THUNDERSTORMS AND ASSOCIATED CLOUD COVER.

...THUNDERSTORMS IMPLY STRONG GUSTY AND ERRATIC WINDS...
...HAINES INDEX IS HIGH LEVEL HAINES BOTH DAY AND NIGHT...
