.DISCUSSION...
The region will be under a moist pattern today and tomorrow with
showers and thunderstorms likely region-wide. Gusty and erratic
40-50 mph outflow winds will be possible near storms. Dry air with
potentially single digit relative humidity will begin creeping in
from the southwest on Friday though, as will increasing
temperatures. Despite this, critical fire weather conditions are
not expected at least through the weekend.
...GUSTY ERRATIC WINDS CAN BE EXPECTED NEAR ANY SHOWERS
OR THUNDERSTORMS...
