.DISCUSSION...
Scattered showers and thunderstorms will develop by midday and
produce occasional rain and gusty/erratic winds at the burn
location through the afternoon. Storms will likely be on the drier
side through the afternoon with a low chance of seeing wetting
rains, tending to be more likely to produce gusty outflow winds
with potential for erratic gusts into the 30-50 mph range. By
Thursday evening scattered showers and thunderstorms will trend
wetter by the evening hours, but will be still be capable of
gusty/erratic outflow winds. Otherwise, temperatures will run
about 10 degrees cooler on Thursday compared to Wednesday, along
with higher afternoon RH values. Clearing values will be excellent
with enough wind and deep mixing heights.
