.DISCUSSION...
Scattered showers and thunderstorms this afternoon will cause lightning and heavy downpours.
Near storms outflows will bring gusty winds from variable directions.
After sunset storms will fade quickly.
A moist airmass will bring a continued threat of afternoon
thunderstorms each day this week as an easterly wave tracks through
the area. Afternoon RH minimal each day will range from 50-60 percent
inland to 65-75 percent near the coast. Fire weather concerns should
be minimal through the period, and this rainfall should help put a
dent in ongoing drought conditions across much of the area.
