.DISCUSSION...
SOME PATCHY FOG HAS DEVELOPED ACROSS THE AREA THIS MORNING. ONCE
THE FOG AND ASSOCIATED LOW CLOUDINESS BREAKS UP...TEMPERATURES
WILL WARM INTO THE LOWER 80S IN MOST PLACES THIS AFTERNOON WITH
THE HELP OF SOME SUNSHINE.

RAPID LOW LEVEL WARMING WILL TAKE PLACE TONIGHT INTO EARLY
SATURDAY WITH VERY WARM AND HUMID WEATHER BEING THE RESULT OVER
THE WEEKEND. RECENT RAINFALL AND THE RESULTANT HIGH DEWPOINTS WILL
KEEP TEMPERATURES FROM GETTING TOO OUT OF HAND BUT WILL STILL SEE
READINGS APPROACH 90 IN MANY AREAS OVER THE WEEKEND. ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORMS MAY DEVELOP ALONG THE DRYLINE OUT WEST LATE SATURDAY
AND WILL CARRY LOW POPS IN WESTERN PARTS OF THE AREA SATURDAY
EVENING IN CASE THIS ACTIVITY DRIFTS THIS FAR EAST. A FAIRLY STOUT
CAPPING INVERSION THOUGH ENSURES THAT NOTHING HIGHER THAN A 20%
POP IS WARRANTED.

THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL...LIKELY SEVERE...WILL INCREASE SUNDAY
AFTERNOON AND EVENING AND ESPECIALLY MONDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
WIND PROFILES WILL BE MORE THAN SUFFICIENT FOR SUPERCELLS WITH ALL
MODES OF SEVERE WEATHER POSSIBLE. THE THREAT FOR SIGNFICANT
TORNADOES WILL EXIST BOTH EVENINGS...BUT APPEARS MOST LIKELY
MONDAY EVENING.

STORM CHANCES WILL BEGIN TO SHIFT SOUTHEAST TUESDAY BUT AT LEAST
LOW STORM CHANCES WILL RETURN THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY AS ANOTHER
FRONTAL BOUNDARY DROPS SOUTH INTO THE AREA. RIDGING ALOFT MAY KEEP
STORM COVERAGE ON THE LOW SIDE HOWEVER...AND THE SEVERE WEATHER
RISK AT THAT TIME WILL BE LOWER THAN THE CLIMATOLOGICAL AVERAGE
FOR LATE MAY.

STAYED CLOSE TO GUIDANCE TEMPERATURES THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS.
