.DISCUSSION...Expect scattered showers and thunderstorms this
afternoon and evening, becoming more isolated tomorrow. The clear
skies in the morning will allow more heating that will produce
stronger thunderstorms than yesterday. The stronger storms will
produce stronger outflow winds and heavier rain. Probability for
thunderstorms is much higher (>60%) on the mountains to the east 
and south today and tomorrow which can result in strong outflow
winds from those areas impacting your location.
