DISCUSSION
MONSOONAL MOISTURE WILL MAINTAIN MINIMUM HUMIDITY
VALUES IN THE 15 TO 30 PERCENT WITH OVERNIGHT RECOVERIES IN THE
30 TO 60 PERCENT RANGE TODAY AND TOMORROW. ISOLATED TO SCATTERED
THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE EACH DAY THIS WEEK. GUSTY OUTFLOW WINDS
AND DOWNPOURS ARE POSSIBLE WITH THESE STORMS AND THE GREATEST
STORM POTENTIAL EXISTS OVER HIGH TERRAIN. THE HEAVY RAINFALL AND
FLASH FLOOD RISK WILL INCREASE TOWARDS THE END OF THE WEEK AS
MOISTURE INCREASES FURTHER. OUTSIDE OF CONVECTIVE INFLUENCE, WINDS
WILL GENERALLY FOLLOW TYPICAL DIURNAL DIRECTIONAL TRENDS.
NOTE: THUNDERSTORMS IMPLY GUSTY AND ERRATIC WINDS.
