.DISCUSSION...
Hit or miss showers and thunderstorms will be possible mainly in the
afternoon through the weekend. Widespread significant rainfall is
not expected and this will likely allow the overall antecedent
conditions to become drier with an increase in the KBDI. With low
level Gulf moisture from mainly southerly winds, minimum afternoon
relative humidity values are expected to range from 60 to 70
percent. A brief surge in moisture and a weak disturbance will bring
the possibility of widespread rainfall on Monday.
