.DISCUSSION...
It will be warm and humid through Thursday. Daytime RH vales
should stay at moderate levels with good recovery each night.
Winds remain light through this period. Thunderstorms are likely
each afternoon through Thursday. These storms look more scattered,
and while wetting rains are likely where storms do occur, the
areal coverage will be limited. The next chance of more widespread
wetting rains will likely not be until early next week.
