.DISCUSSION...
There is a low chance for a stray thunderstorm through the early
evening, but most of the storm activity should stay west of the
Manzano mountains. Humidity will recover to near 60 percent by
dawn Sunday, falling to around 25 percent in the late afternoon
with a few isolated storms developing again. A few storms west of
the mountains will likely produce brief gusty winds moving toward
the Manzano mountains early Sunday evening before winds turn lighter
through the latter part of the evening. Isolated to scattered
thunderstorms will once again be possible Monday afternoon.
