.DISCUSSION...

Conditions through Thursday will remain mostly clear and dry,
aside from a stray overnight shower that is almost certain to not
produce a wetting rain or carry gusts of 40+ mph. Winds will
continue to prevail out of the west and gradually
weaken this evening from around 12 mph to around 5 mph by late
this evening. From around midnight to 9am, light winds will tend
to shift toward the southeast, before returning to the northwest
around 10 mph Thursday afternoon. Thursday afternoon will also
feature hot temperatures near 90 degrees with humidity down to
around 20 percent. For Thursday evening into Friday, there is
moderate confidence for isolated dry thunderstorms amongst
showers that are unlikely to produce a wetting rain and produce
gusty winds. Lightning will mostly be limited to the evening hours
each day.
