DISCUSSION

MINIMUM RH VALUES TODAY ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN ABOVE 50% WITH
SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS AROUND 6-10 MPH. MORE WIDESPREAD RAIN CHANCES
MOVE IN THURSDAY AFTERNOON INTO FRIDAY AS A SYSTEM FROM THE

OF HEAVY RAINFALL COULD BE POSSIBLE THURSDAY AND FRIDAY ALONG WITH
GUSTY SOUTHWESTERLY TO WESTERLY WINDS. CONDITIONS MAY DRY OUT A
BIT THIS WEEKEND WITH WEAKER WINDS.
