DISCUSSION
CLOUDS ARE BEGINNING TO FORM AND WE WILL SEE A GOOD CHANCE FOR
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON. THE MAIN THREAT
FROM THESE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE STRONG AND GUSTY WINDS. WE
ALREADY HAVE BREEZY WINDS ON-GOING, SO ANY DOWNBURST WINDS COULD
GREATLY INCREASE THOSE WIND SPEEDS. DESPITE THE CHANCES FOR RAIN,
MIN RH'S WILL STILL BE AROUND 15% THIS AFTERNOON, BUT WE WILL
HAVE DECENT RH RECOVERIES TONIGHT TO AROUND 50%. WE WILL AGAIN SEE
RAIN CHANCES ON THURSDAY, BUT WE WILL HAVE LESS WINDS. THE
WEEKEND IS LOOKING WARM AND VERY DRY WITH MIN RH'S IN THE SINGLE
DIGITS.
