.DISCUSSION...

Shower and thunderstorm activity will become less numerous and
mostly confined to areas over and near higher terrain over the
next day or so before increasing again late Monday into Tuesday.
Gusty winds and occasional lightning strikes will be the primary
hazards to watch out for. Temperatures will warm a few degrees
each day through Memorial Day before a weather system briefly
cools temperatures by a few degrees on Tuesday.
