.DISCUSSION...
A hot and humid airmass will continue to support scattered to
numerous thunderstorms each day. The driest day this week looks to be
Wednesday before moisture again increases late in the week. This will
be due to a stronger northeast flow that will have the potential to
also create conditions favorable for higher dispersions. There are
no significant fire weather concerns at this time.
Fog potential...No significant fog is expected.
