.DISCUSSION...
The persistent presence of monsoon moisture will continue to support
chances for showers and thunderstorm through Friday. Mostly cloudy
conditions tomorrow morning should give way to precipitation by the
afternoon, however, there is lower confidence in the forecast as
high resolution modeling has been very inconsistent with regards to
the timing, placement, and intensity of precipitation. Even with this
in mind, the abnormally moist environment will still be conducive for
accumulation amounts up to 0.50" through Friday afternoon with
locally higher amounts not out of the question. A few of the stronger
storms may be capable of producing gusty, erratic wind gusts up to
35 mph. Excellent humidity recovery is forecast overnight Thursday
and into the early morning hours on Friday.
