DISCUSSION
THERE WILL BE A SLIGHT CHANCE (10-20%) FOR A WEAK
HIGH-BASED SHOWER AFTER 1400. VERY LITTLE TO NO RAINFALL IS
EXPECTED BUT GUSTY OUTFLOW WINDS UP TO 30 MPH WILL BE POSSIBLE. ON
WEDNESDAY, THERE WILL BE A BETTER CHANCE AT SEEING (30-40%) A
HIGH-BASED SHOWER. AGAIN, VERY LITTLE TO NO RAIN IS EXPECTED BUT
GUSTY OUTFLOW WINDS TO 35 MPH WILL BE POSSIBLE. OTHER THAN THE
POSSIBLE GUSTY WINDS FROM THE SHOWERS, WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO BE
LIGHT (LESS THAN 10 MPH). BECAUSE OF THE DRY AIRMASS IN PLACE,
RELATIVE HUMIDITY RECOVERY WILL BE POOR (35-45%).
