DISCUSSION
EXPECT GENERALLY EASTERLY WINDS TODAY, WITH WIDESPREAD LOW CLOUDS
THIS MORNING GIVING WAY TO BREAKS OF SUNSHINE. WIDELY SCATTERED
LIGHT SHOWERS WILL PASS ACROSS THE AREA SURROUNDING THE INCIDENT
DURING THIS AFTERNOON, WITH MORE WIDESPREAD ACTIVITY ENTERING THE
AREA THIS EVENING. MOST OF THE RAIN WILL REMAIN TO THE SOUTH, AND
ANY RAIN THAT REACHES AS FAR NORTH AS THE INCIDENT WILL LIKELY BE
LESS THAN 0.10 INCH TOTAL, WITH RAIN ENDING BY SUNRISE SATURDAY.
BELIEVE THIS WILL BE THE LAST CHANCE FOR WETTING RAINFALL AT THE
INCIDENT, MOST LIKELY UNTIL THE TYPICAL SUMMERTIME PATTERN OF
DAYTIME HEATING-DRIVEN SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS RETURNS POSSIBLY
ON MONDAY, MORE LIKELY ON TUESDAY. UNTIL THEN, COOLER THAN NORMAL
TEMPERATURES WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE WEEKEND, WITH WINDS HOLDING
BELOW 10 MPH.
