DISCUSSION
AS HIGH PRESSURE DOMINATES THE REGION INTO NEXT WEEK WE WILL SEE
TEMPERATURES REMAIN HIGH, GENERALLY DAYTIME HIGHS FROM 90-100 AND
OVERNIGHT LOWS IN THE UPPER 70S, AND RAIN WILL BE DIFFICULT
TO COME BY IN MOST PLACES. WINDS WILL BE CALM TO LIGHT AND VARIABLE
OVERNIGHT AND 5-10 MPH OUT OF THE SOUTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST DURING THE
DAY. LOWEST DAILY RH VALUES WILL MOVE INTO A RANGE BETWEEN THE MID
40 TO 60% RANGE AND REMAIN THERE THROUGH THE WEEK.
1 - THERE ARE SHOWERS AND STORMS IN THE VICINITY OF THE SITE NOW AND
COULD LEAD TO ERRATIC WINDS DUE TO OUTFLOW. A 40% CHANCE OF
SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE
AFTERNOON, WITH PROBABILITIES DECREASING AFTER SUNSET. A FEW STORMS
COULD BECOME STRONG, PRODUCING GUSTY WINDS TO 40 MPH AND FREQUENT
LIGHTNING.
2 - ISOLATED TO WIDELY SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS OCCURING NOW
AND WILL BE POSSIBLE AGAIN DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS MONDAY AND
TUESDAY.
3 - FOG IS NOT EXPECTED. HOWEVER, IF A HEAVIER STORM MOVES OVER
THE SITE, PATCHY AND SHALLOW LIGHT FOG COULD DEVELOP NEAR DAYBREAK.
