.DISCUSSION...
The rain and moisture will be lingering around for one more day.
The main threat today, like yesterday, will be flash flooding in
and near recent and ongoing burn scars. After today, we will see a
slow drying trend, but the rain chances will continue each
afternoon through the weekend. Min RH`s will stay above 20% across
the region through the end of the week, but by the weekend, we
will see min RH`s in the teens west of the Rio Grande but still
above 20% east of the river.
