.DISCUSSION...
Warm and relatively dry weather in the Western Interior and for
areas not directly on the coast continues for the next several

Friday, with minimum relative humidity values falling into the
upper 20s to mid 30s in the Western Interior. Widely scattered
thunderstorms are expected today in more easterly locations, with
isolated thunderstorms elsewhere. Widely scattered thunderstorms
will also be possible tomorrow along an axis extending from south
of Ambler to near Crooked Creek, with isolated thunderstorms again

in the Southwestern Interior Friday with showers and thunderstorms

this period save this afternoon, when northerly gradient winds up
to 15 mph will be possible in the Western Interior.
