.DISCUSSION...

Increased moisture areawide combined with a wavy warm front north
of the region will lead to isolated shower and thunderstorm 
chances across mostly northern mountain locations today. A cold
front looks to push through the area Saturday and Sunday, 
bringing a more widespread chance for rainfall and thunderstorms. 
Above normal temperatures are expected to continue 
across the region; however, minimum RH values look to remain at 
acceptable levels, and should not be a concern. There are 
currently no fire weather concerns at this time.
