.DISCUSSION...
Showers and thunderstorms will continue this afternoon. The main
concerns from these storms will be heavy rainfall that could lead
to flooding, gusty winds and frequent lightning. The 20ft winds
will be light to breezy and temperatures near the average. Tonight
recovery will be good to excellent. Showers and thunderstorms
will linger through the evening hours. For Tuesday, similar
conditions are expected. The 20ft winds will continue to be light
to breezy and the temperatures around the normal. For the rest of
the period, each day we will see continued chances for showers
and thunderstorms with Wednesday being the most active day. With
that being said, there will be no fire weather concerns across the
entire zones throughout the period.
