.DISCUSSION...

An increase in moisture will support daily chances of showers and
thunderstorms through the first half of the week with a scattered
wetting rain. Temperatures along with humidity levels trend more
seasonable by Wednesday. Smoke dispersion will be mainly poor
through Tuesday due to weak flow aloft, resulting in very light
transport winds.
