.DISCUSSION...
Strong southerly transport winds are expected both this afternoon
and Friday, which combined with deep mixing will lead to great
dispersion. Minimum RH`s will be higher today with values only
falling to around 35-45%. A few light showers or an isolated storm
are possible this morning, but the chance for a wetting rain is
rather low with this. Multiple chances for rain and thunderstorm
return Friday night through Sunday night. Severe thunderstorms and
heavy rainfall are possible. Locations that stay south of the
frontal boundary on Saturday could still see good dispersion with
a decent south wind in place.
