.DISCUSSION...Monsoonal moisture lingering over the area Saturday will
result in the potential for another more active day before a
gradual drying trend begins to set in Sunday. Given current radar
and model trends, expect potential for some isolated showers to
lift through the area after sunrise and through the morning,
giving way to more scattered convective development on through the
afternoon. Given the abundance of moisture, thunderstorms in the
afternoon will be capable of periods of moderate to heavy rainfall
in addition to lightning and gusty erratic outflow winds. A few
showers and a thunderstorm or two may linger into the evening
hours, but largely expect to see the coverage and strength of
activity decrease with loss of daytime heating. The the pattern
shifting will allow a drying trend Sunday, it still appears
sufficient moisture will linger such that daytime heating will be
capable to trigger some isolated showers and thunderstorms. Aside
from influence from precipitation, winds are expected to follow a
standard terrain driven direction pattern (up-terrain late morning
through the day, down-terrain evening through the overnight).
