DISCUSSION
CURRENT RADAR SHOWS STORMS HAVE SUBSIDED WITH ONLY SOME SHOWERS
REMAINING IN THE AREA. SHOWER POTENTIAL WILL STICK AROUND FOR THE
NEXT HOUR OR TWO, BUT THE AIRMASS SHOULD BE STABLE ENOUGH TO KEEP
LIGHTNING CONCERNS MINIMAL. CLOSEST OBSERVATIONS SHOW
SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS IN PLACE WITH GUSTS BETWEEN 15-20 MPH, AND RH
AROUND 80-85%. WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO TURN MORE SOUTHERLY IN THE
NEXT HOUR, DECREASING IN SPEEDS BY AROUND 2300. FOR THE OVERNIGHT,
WINDS SHOULD BE LIGHT AND SIT SOMEWHERE BETWEEN SOUTH-SOUTHWEST
TO WEST FOR DIRECTION. BY AROUND 0600, WINDS SHOULD BECOME LIGHT
AND VARIABLE, WITH A FEW GUSTS BETWEEN 10-15 MPH POSSIBLE BEFORE
SHOWER AND STORM CHANCES START TO INCREASE BY 0100. STORMS
TOMORROW WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING GUSTY VARIABLE WINDS UP TO
40 MPH, LIGHTNING, AND LOCALIZED HEAVY RAINFALL. RH RECOVERIES
ARE EXPECTED TO BE GOOD TONIGHT AND REMAIN AROUND 25-30% AT THEIR
LOWEST TOMORROW. OUTSIDE OF THE GUSTY WINDS WITH PASSING
SHOWERS/STORMS TOMORROW, WINDS SHOULD MAKE A NORTHERLY TRANSITION
BY EARLY AFTERNOON WITH GUSTS STAYING UNDER 20 MPH WHEN SHOWERS
AND STORMS ARE NOT AROUND. TEMPS SHOULD DROP INTO THE LOW 50S
TONIGHT, AND WARM INTO THE UPPER 70S SUNDAY AFTERNOON.
