.DISCUSSION...
Some scattered pop-up showers will be possible this afternoon with
peak afternoon heating and fade this evening. Conditions in the
coming days will stay increasingly hot and dry, with RH`s falling
below 30% in spots this weekend. Surface winds out of the east are
expected to shift southwesterly Saturday morning before shifting
to be more southerly during the afternoon. There may be some rain
to our north and west on Monday, but model confidence is low on
if we will see anything from that front.
