.DISCUSSION...
An outflow boundary has just pushed or is about to push through the
burn area from north to south, which should bring gusts up to 35 mph
through 2100-2200 local. Additional showers and thunderstorms may
develop behind this boundary. If storms develop, they will be capable
of brief but heavy downpours as well as gusty and erratic winds.
Much of this activity will taper off after 2200 local. After a
quieter overnight and early morning period, another round of showers
and thunderstorms are expected Monday afternoon and evening. Again,
these storms will also be capable of brief downpours and erratic wind
gusts. A similar story is expected for Tuesday as well though less
storm coverage is likely. In addition to the storms, temperatures
will be hot. High temperatures will be 6 to 8 degrees above normal
for the next few days.
