.DISCUSSION...
Isolated to scattered showers and storms will be possible this afternoon
and evening, similar to what we saw yesterday. Flash flooding risk is low,
but not zero, especially if a storm develops in the vicinity of burn scars.
Min RH values this afternoon will be at or slightly below 15 percent for
areas along and west of the Divide, greater than 15 percent east of the
Divide. High temperatures will top out around to slightly above the seasonal
average for the end of June with light winds of 5-15 mph. Gusty and erratic
outflow winds will be possible in the vicinity of decaying storms. Overnight
recoveries will remain in the good to excellent categories.
