...New UPDATE...

.UPDATE...
Issued at 829 PM EDT Sun May 19 2024

Another afternoon of very limited convection in our area. The lack
of moisture was the main culprit and this evening`s sounding
confirmed it. The dry air mostly aloft today, is forecast to
spread down to the surface through the week with critically low
humidities. Though there is a non-zero chance of a shower of two
to develop across southern portions of our CWA, most of should
remain dry. In addition, breezy west to northwesterly winds are
anticipated by Monday afternoon. Overnight lows range from the
upper 60s north to mid 70s south, while highs get to around 90
degrees.

Otherwise, no changes were made to the forecast as it remains on
track.
