.DISCUSSION...Relatively deep moisture will keep RH values on
the higher side into next week, along with daily chances for
thunderstorms. Moisture is expected to be deep enough for some
storms to generate locally heavy rain. Winds should generally
remain below 15 mph each afternoon, though occasional gusts to 20
mph are possible. Stronger erratic outflows with some
thunderstorms.
