.DISCUSSION...
It will be warm and humid tonight and Thursday. A cold front will
cross Thursday afternoon bringing scattered thunderstorms south of
the mountains to the coast. Where storms occur there is likely to
be wetting rain while the scattered nature of storms will limit
widespread wetting rain. It will remain warm with drier air
arriving Friday with min RH dropping to around 30 percent south
of the mountains along with gusty west winds. There will be
additional chances for showers late Saturday into Sunday while the
next chance of more widespread wetting rains will likely not be
until early next week.
