.DISCUSSION...
Moisture will slowly begin to increase over the coming days
thanks to southerly flow. This will cause an uptick in showers and
thunderstorms, especially over the higher terrain. The best
coverage still looks to be on Thursday. Outside of the convection,
hot and dry conditions will continue for most of the lower
elevations. Light winds are expected, however, so widespread
critical fire weather conditions are not anticipated.
...GUSTY ERRATIC WINDS CAN BE EXPECTED NEAR ANY SHOWERS
OR THUNDERSTORMS...
