EARLY AFTERNOON HOURS FRIDAY BEFORE GRADUALLY DECREASING THROUGH
THE EVENING AND OVERNIGHT HOURS. THOUGH SOME MODEST 0-6KM BULK
SHEAR VALUES EXIST WITH THESE SHOWERS, INSTABILITY REMAINS POOR.
NO SEVERE WEATHER IS EXPECTED, BUT SOME THUNDERSTORMS MAY BE
POSSIBLE. QPF STORM TOTALS CONTINUE TO SIT BETWEEN A HALF INCH
AND AN INCH FOR THIS EVENT. ADDITIONALLY, THE FLOOD THREAT
REMAINS LOW (5-10%) DUE TO THE LACK OF INTENSITY OF THESE STORMS
AND DRY PRIOR CONDITIONS.
SMALL (10-30%) CHANCES OF RAIN LINGER INTO SATURDAY. HOWEVER,
HIGH PRESSURE WILL ONCE AGAIN BUILD SUNDAY ALLOWING FOR DRY
CONDITIONS TO PREVAIL. THE COOL TEMPERATURES FROM FRIDAY WILL
