.DISCUSSION...
Continued onshore winds will keep humidity in place, and
afternoon RH values will struggle to fall below 60 percent, even
well inland. Isolated to widely scattered storms are expected to
move into the area from the north and northwest late this
afternoon and tonight. Any storms that do form will be capable of
becoming strong to severe. A weak cold front will move through
late tonight into early Friday morning, bringing an end to
thunderstorm potential, and ushering in a modestly cooler, drier
airmass to provide some partial respite from the heat and
humidity. Gusty north to northeasterly winds expected on Friday.
