.DISCUSSION...
Today will be another warm day, with temperatures averaging close to
Sundays highs and humidity around Sundays values as well. Wind will
increase somewhat today as a cold front approaches Wyoming from the
north. Gusts up to 20 mph are possible after 1400 with mainly
light wind through most of the morning. We can`t rule out a stray
shower or thunderstorm, mainly between the hours of 1400 and 1800.
The chance is only around 10 percent though. Mixing and smoke dispersal
will be excellent in the afternoon after morning inversions break
around 1000. The cold front will move closer on Tuesday, bringing a
better chance of showers and thunderstorms Tuesday afternoon (around
a 1 in 3 chance), although the chance of wetting rain will remain
very low.
