.DISCUSSION...
One more day of very dry conditions with generally light winds,
although some afternoon gusts over 20 mph are possible. Some
moisture starts to push into the area overnight and this will help
with RH`s for Monday and an even better moisture push for Tue/Wed
when thunderstorm chances increase considerably. Expect a good
chance for wetting rains with these storms Tue/Wed and continuing,
but with lesser coverage going into the end of the week as a weak
upper low moves out of the area.
