development of showers and storms over the next 2-3 hours. After
that, anticipating relatively tranquil conditions overnight.
Moisture will be increasing across the area tomorrow, and this
will bring another round of showers and thunderstorms tomorrow
beginning late morning. These will be primarily focused over the
higher terrain with a 20-30 percent chance of impacts during the
afternoon if they drift over the park.
