Dry weather is expected for today, but RH will remain above 50
percent with light winds. Scattered showers and thunderstorms
will be possible for Thursday, especially in the afternoon and
evening hours. Any location that sees a thunderstorm could quickly
receive a wetting rainfall. RH values will remain above 60 percent
through the day, with southerly winds of 5 to 10 mph. A stray
shower or thunderstorm is possible again on Friday and RH values
will stay above 50 percent through the entire day. Winds will
become westerly around 5 mph for Friday. Dry weather is expected
for the upcoming weekend.
