.DISCUSSION...
Isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected to
develop again late this afternoon. More numerous showers and
storms are forecast starting on Thursday and persisting into
Saturday as a weak frontal boundary stalls near the area. RH
values will remain well above any critical thresholds and winds
will remain light the end of the week. The front is projected to
push offshore early next week. This will allow slightly drier air
to feed into the area. Rain chances will diminish to only
isolated showers and storms and RH values will fall into the
40 to 50 percent range north of I-10. Fog is not expected tonight
or tomorrow night across the area.
