.DISCUSSION...

Plan on plenty of sun and warming through the first half of the
day today, then showers and thunderstorms developing by 1300,
becoming more widespread after 1500. Main concern will be the
gusty and erratic winds that will be possible with any storms that
do develop. Gusts up to 45 mph will be possible, along with
lightning, small hail, and brief periods of moderate to heavy
rain. QPF estimates in the area are calling for potential .20" of
rain from any storms, which could create issues on recently
burned, sloped ground.

Storm activity is forecast to come to an end late this evening.
Tomorrow is expected to be a repeat with respect to showers and
thunderstorms, but warmer temperatures are anticipated.
