.DISCUSSION...
Isolated thunderstorm chances for this evening and tomorrow as well.
Due to the isolated coverage, low model confidence, and building dry
layer near the surface to really decrease the chances for a wetting
rain (less than 10% until about Tuesday). A building upper level ridge
will start to dry the region this weekend raising the temperatures into
the 90`s and 100`s. RH values will also start drop below 20 percent
starting the Friday afternoon. Nocturnal inversions will keep the winds
below 10 mph after 10 PM each night keeping smoke dispersal and transport
winds in poor conditions. Diurnal mixing should help alleviate any smoke
dispersal concerns during the day.
