DISCUSSION
A GENERAL NORTHERLY FLOW IN THE WAKE OF A DEPARTING
STORM SYSTEM WILL RESIDE ACROSS THE AREA TODAY. LINGERING MOISTURE
WILL BRING A CHANCE FOR AFTERNOON SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS,
ALTHOUGH MUCH OF THIS ACTIVITY WILL REMAIN JUST SOUTH OF THE SITE,
DEVELOPING ALONG THE HIGHER RIDGELINES AND MOVING SOUTH AND AWAY
FROM THE SITE THIS AFTERNOON. GUSTY ERRATIC WINDS WILL BE POSSIBLE
WITH ANY THUNDERSTORMS WHICH PASS NEAR THE SITE. MIXING LOOKS TO BE
DEEP ENOUGH TO BOOST THE CLEARING INDEX ABOVE 500 THIS AFTERNOON.
HIGH PRESSURE WILL BRING A DRYING AND WARMING TREND FOR THE LATTER
PORTION OF THE WEEK THROUGH THE UPCOMING WEEKEND. THE AIRMASS WILL
REMAIN A BIT STABLE THURSDAY, AND WITH LIGHT TRANSPORT WINDS THE
CLEARING INDEX MAY JUST EXCEED 500. AS THE AIRMASS WARMS HEADING
INTO THE WEEKEND, VERY GOOD MIXING WILL PUSH THE CLEARING INDEX
WELL ABOVE 500 EACH DAY BEGINNING FRIDAY.
