.DISCUSSION...

the weekend, influencing mostly sunny conditions through Sunday
evening. Isolated rain showers are likely as low pressure starts
to build over the area Sunday into Monday. During the week,
scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms are possible. Winds
start off light and variable, then become southwesterly up to
around 10 mph in the late afternoon today. Southwest winds have
the potential to reach 15 mph on ridgetops tonight into Sunday.
Minimum humidity values see a gradual increase through the
forecast period from the 30% range to the 50% range as the low
