.DISCUSSION...
Southerly winds will increase today with gusts up to 25 mph this
afternoon. Mixing will deepen the boundary layer and help drop dew
points with min RH around 35 percent this afternoon. A decaying
line of showers will cross west to east tonight with some wetting
rains likely, especially across the White Mountains. The next
chance of wetting rains arrives Friday night and Saturday where
there is better opportunity for heavier showers and thunderstorms.
Drier conditions return Sunday into early next week.
