.DISCUSSION...Isolated to scattered storms will start developing in
the area in the next 1-3 hours. Thunderstorms could produce small hail,
especially if the core of the storm passes directly overhead. They
will also produce heavy rainfall rates. Afternoon RH minimums remain
elevated thanks to the increase in moisture. Likewise, recoveries
remain good. SW winds this morning will become outflow dominated in
the afternoon from thunderstorms.

Expecting little change in the forecast for tomorrow from what will be
observed today. Temperatures will warm quickly in the morning thanks
to morning clearing before clouds and storms develop early in the
afternoon with elevated RHs. West to SW winds in the morning will become
outflow dominated in the afternoon from thunderstorms.
