.DISCUSSION...

Primarily dry conditions will continue today aside from maybe
an isolated shower or storm. Chances of scattered showers and storms
increases Tuesday and even more so on Wednesday. Small chances may
continue late week into the weekend as well. Humidity levels will
be lowest today, with RH`s falling into the 40 to 50% range.
Thereafter, most afternoons will remain above 50%. Dispersion
will be poor through Wednesday due to light transport winds
remaining under 10 mph. Winds out of the southwest through
Tuesday will become more westerly on Wednesday.
