DISCUSSION...

THERE IS POTENTIAL FOR DRY LIGHTNING OUTSIDE THE MAIN WETTING RAIN
CORES. GUSTY AND ERRATIC WINDS WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE WITH ANY SHOWER

REMAIN ABOVE NORMAL. BETTER MOISTURE WILL ALLOW FOR BETTER COVERAGE
OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FRIDAY ALONG WITH BETTER POTENTIAL FOR
WETTING PRECIPITATION. GUSTY AND ERRATIC WINDS WILL AGAIN BE
POSSIBLE WITH THESE AFTERNOON STORMS. DAYTIME HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL
COOL TO NEAR NORMAL LEVELS WITH HIGHER DAYTIME RH VALUES THAN TODAY.
PREVAILING WINDS WILL BE FROM THE SOUTH THROUGH THIS PERIOD AND
