.DISCUSSION...Showers and storms should dissipate after sunset
with loss of daytime heating this evening. Could still see some
erratic wind gusts due to outflow winds and collapsing showers.
Drier and warmer conditions are expected Friday and Saturday as
high pressure moves in and pushes some of the remnant moisture
out. Could still see 20 to 30 percent chance of showers and storms
each afternoon as storms drift off the San Juans late in the day.
