.DISCUSSION...

Mostly dry conditions can be expected over the next couple days.
Isolated thunderstorms will be possible in the afternoon, but these
are more likely to produce lightning, and gusty outflow winds but
only light rainfall amounts at best.  Winds will be dominated by

of relatively low day time humidity values, critical fire weather
conditions are not expected due to light winds.
