DISCUSSION
DRIER AIR HAS MOVED INTO THE REGION ALONG WITH LESS LIFT
THANKS TO THE LOW PRESSURE SHIFTING AWAY FROM OUR AREA. A BRIEF ISOLATED
STORM CAN'T BE RULED OUT (10% CHANCE) THIS AFTERNOON. THESE CAN STILL
PRODUCE GUSTY AND ERRATIC WINDS ALONG WITH FREQUENT LIGHTNING.
THE MOISTURE DOESN'T FULLY DEPART OUR AREA OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS SO
THAT WILL KEEP A SMALL (~10%) CHANCE OF STORMS EACH AFTERNOON ALONG WITH
RELATIVE HUMIDITY ABOVE CRITICAL CONDITIONS. WINDS WILL REMAIN LIGHT AND
DIURNALLY DRIVEN AS WELL. MOISTURE DOESN'T INCREASE OVER THE REGION
UNTIL THE END OF THE UPCOMING WEEK.
