.DISCUSSION...
An unsettled spring like pattern will remain over the region through
through Tuesday as an upper level low pressure system migrates east
during the day. At this time it looks the best chance for showers will
be in the afternoon developing just to the north.  Watchout for wind shifts
as there is a potential for northerly wind gusts to 25 mph as showers
look to to migrate from north to south. There is also a forecast for
isolated thunderstorms in the area especially near the higher terrain.
Wednesday will be a little drier and warmer with winds still trending from the
west to northwest.
