.DISCUSSION...

East to southeasterly winds prevail early in the day
before the sea breeze shifts them onshore. Moisture
continues to increase through the period, which will
support increasing rain chances at the site. Scattered
showers and storms will be possible during the late
morning hours,but the highest chances will be during
the afternoon and evening. Humidity levels remain
above critical criteria.
