131 PM EDT MON AUG 24 2026
DISCUSSION
ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE AGAIN DURING THE
AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS OF TUESDAY, MAINLY ACROSS THE FAR
SOUTHEASTERN PORTION OF THE FORECAST AREA WHICH WILL BE ON THE
MOIST SIDE OF A STATIONARY BOUNDARY DRAPED OVER THE REGION.
OUTSIDE OF THESE AREAS, ANOTHER RAIN FREE DAY IS EXPECTED UNDER
MAINLY SUNNY SKIES WITH RELATIVELY DRY AIR IN PLACE, THOUGH MIN
RH VALUES REMAIN ABOVE CRITICAL THRESHOLDS. THE RISK OF SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS INCREASES DURING THE MID TO LATE WEEK PERIOD AS
MOISTURE RETURNS TO THE FORECAST AREA.
FOG POTENTIAL: LOW AND FOCUSED NEAR BODIES OF WATER.
