DISCUSSION
A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS ON THE TERRAIN THIS AFTERNOON
REMAINS IN THE FORECAST. CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE NOT
EXPECTED. WETTING RAINS ARE NOT LIKELY EITHER. GUSTY OUTFLOW WINDS
AND DRY LIGHTNING WILL BE THE MAIN THREAT FROM ANY NEARBY STORMS
THIS AFTERNOON. MOISTURE INCREASES ON WEDNESDAY AND BEYOND,
THEREBY INCREASING THE CHANCE FOR WETTING RAINS FROM SCATTERED
THUNDERSTORMS AND RAIN SHOWERS. THIS PATTERN LOOKS TO CONTINUE
INTO THE WEEKEND, FURTHER SUPPRESSING CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER.
