.DISCUSSION...
Hot and mostly dry conditions will continue through Wednesday
beneath strong upper-level ridging, with minimum relative
humidity values generally in the mid 40s to mid 50s inland and
west to northwest winds around 5 to 10 mph. Afternoon mixing will
support fair to good dispersion, followed by poor overnight
dispersion and strong humidity recovery. A weak front will
approach Thursday and bring increasing thunderstorm coverage
through the weekend, with most locations receiving wetting
rainfall. Lightning, strong and erratic outflow winds, and rapid
wind shifts will be the primary concerns near storms, while
critical fire-weather conditions are not anticipated.
