.DISCUSSION...The clear skies this 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 higher (>40%) on 
the mountains to the north, northeast and distant southwest today
and tomorrow which can result in strong outflow winds from those 
areas impacting your location. Monday looks to dry out some with
less chance (5-10%) for storms on site, but remain high (60%) to 
the distant southwest.
