.DISCUSSION...

Moisture ahead of a cold front on Monday and Tuesday will bring
the chance of scattered showers and thunderstorms. The risk of a
wetting rain has trended higher with between 0.50 to 1.50 inches
of rainfall now possible. Dispersion remains improved this weekend
due to an increase in the transport winds along with deep-layer
mixing. Humidity levels will fall into the 30 to 45% range each
afternoon.
