DOMINATES.

DRY...HOWEVER THERE ARE A FEW ENSEMBLES THAT SUGGEST PRECIPITATION
MAY MAKE IT INTO THE NORTHWEST ZONES BY FRIDAY AFTERNOON. FOR
NOW...NOT ENOUGH MODEL SUPPORT TO INCLUDE A POP ON FRIDAY...SO WILL
KEEP THAT PERIOD DRY.

WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY MAY BE A LITTLE ON THE WARM SIDE. WILL NUDGE
DOWN THE GUIDANCE A BIT IN THOSE PERIODS. MOS LOWS LOOK OK.
