.DISCUSSION...

Flow will be generally weak today, with surface winds peaking under
10 MPH this afternoon and similar magnitude for transport winds. This
will result in fair dispersions this afternoon at best. Chances for
showers and t`storms will begin by late this morning, peaking through
the early to mid afternoon. With the southwest flow in place, convection
will likely move east of the site by about 4 to 5 PM, though additional
activity cannot be ruled out until sunset this evening.

Showers and t`storms are expected to be numerous once again on Thursday,
with a similar timing trend looking likely as well. Dispersions
are expected to be similar to today on Thursday as little chance in the
flow regime is expected.
