.DISCUSSION...
Surface flow turns southwesterly this afternoon. Moisture
begins to increase this afternoon with dewpoints climbing
into the 60s by late this morning. Minimum RH values are
expected to remain at or above 40 percent over the next
several days. Precipitation chances increase late this
afternoon with multiple rounds of showers and
thunderstorms expected late tonight through Sunday. Heavy
rain is expected with localized flash flooding possible
until active weather is pushed east late Sunday evening.
Some of the storms may be strong to severe later today
with large hail being the primary threat. All hazards
are possible Sunday. However, Sunday`s potential is
uncertain and dependent on several factors that may be
influenced by rounds of active weather that precede
Sunday`s system.
